La Sal National Forest

La Sal National Forest was established as the La Sal Forest Reseve by the U.S. Forest Service in Utah and Colorado on January 25, 1906 with 158,462 acres, mostly in Utah. It became a National Forest on March 4, 1907. On July 1, 1908 it was combined with Monticello National Forest and renamed La Salle National Forest. On March 16, 1909 it was changed back to La Sal, by now with 474,130 acres. On November 28, 1949 the forest was transferred to Manti National Forest. On August 28, 1950 the name was changed to Manti-La Sal National Forest.
