Business Loop I-15 - Fillmore
Business Loop I-15 at Fillmore follows old U.S. 91 along 500 South and Main Street to the Fillmore city center east of I-15. The route overlaps with Utah 99 for 4.193 miles between Exits 163 and 167.
The city of Fillmore was established as Utah's first capital while it was a territory prior to statehood (from 1851 to 1856); the city was founded and surveyed on October 28, 1851. After the capital moved to Salt Lake City in 1856, it still took several decades before Utah became a state (in 1896). Fillmore had an estimated population of 2,489 per 2012 Census estimates. This region overall is sparsely populated, as increasingly populated areas to the north (Provo-Salt Lake City-Ogden) and the south (Cedar City-St. George) are still a good distance away.
