'''Granite''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Salt Lake County, Utah|Salt Lake County]], [[Utah]], United States, adjoining the City of [[Sandy, Utah|Sandy]] on the east. As of the [[2000 United States Census|2000 census]], the CDP population was 2,018, a decrease from the 1990 population of 3,300 largely due to annexations by Sandy.{{Citation needed|date=February 2009}} Salt Lake County has designated a Granite “Community Council” for purposes of planning and development. The Granite Community Council includes the area within the CDP as well as the rest of [[Little Cottonwood Canyon]], extending to [[Snowbird, Utah|Snowbird]] and [[Alta, Utah|Alta]]. In 2009 there was an effort to make Granite a township that ultimately failed.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}
