Prior to 1900 Magna, then known as Pleasant Green, was involved primarily in agriculture. With the advent of open cut mining at Copper Hill in Bingham Canyon, about 15 miles south, copper processing facilities were built in the immediate vicinity of the town and many farmers elected to work for steady wages instead of sustaining the risks of the agricultural industry.
Over the years as Kennecott-Utah Copper, now owned by Rio Tinto, has expanded, so has the town. And with housing in the area being relatively inexpensive, more and more suburbanites are moving to the area to take advantage of these lower prices.

To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
