Description
Burmester is located along Interstate 80 on the north end of the Tooele Valley, near the southwestern edge of the Great Salt Lake, 7 miles (11 km) north of Grantsville.[3]
Burmester was originally settled as a railroad community under the name of Grants Station; in 1906 it was renamed for landowner Frank T. Burmester.[4] The community severely declined during the Great Depression.

gollark: Lots of modern and not-that-modern technology is very impressive if you consider how complex it is. Like how CPUs are basically insanely advanced nanotechnology which they manufacture at the scale of, well, not individual atoms, but smallish groups of atoms, mass-produced and sold very cheaply.
gollark: So low-level architecture then.
