St. George, Utah
St. George is a city in and the county
seat of Washington County, Utah, United
States. Located in the southwestern part
of the state on the Arizona border, near
the tri-state junction of Utah, Arizona and
Nevada, it is the principal city of the St.
George Metropolitan Statistical Area. The
city lies in the northeasternmost part of
the Mojave Desert adjacent to the Pine
Valley Mountains near the convergence of
three distinct geological areas: the Mojave
Desert, Colorado Plateau, and Great Basin.
The city is 118 miles northeast of Las Vegas
and 300 miles south-southwest of Salt Lake
City on Interstate 15. The city is named
after George A. Smith, a Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints Apostle. St.
George and its surrounding metropolitan
area is well-known for its natural beauty
and proximity to several state and national
parks, including Zion.
As of the 2015 U.S Census estimates, the
city had a population of 80,202, and the St.
George metropolitan area had an estimated
population of 155,600. St. George is the
seventh-largest city in Utah and the most
populous city in the state outside of the
Wasatch Front.
In 2005, St. George was ranked the second
fastest-growing metropolitan area in
the United States, beat only by Greeley,
Colorado. This trend continued through
2010, when growth slowed substantially
due to the economic recession. Growth
has since rebounded and St. George
was declared the fifth fastest-growing
metropolitan area in the United States in
2015.
Prior to the arrival of the first European
settlers, the St. George area was inhabited
by the Virgin River Anasazi and later by
the Paiute tribe. The first Europeans in the
area were part of the Dominguez–Escalante
Expedition in 1776.
St. George was founded as a cotton
mission in 1861 under the direction of
Apostle Erastus Snow. It was called Dixie
by Brigham Young, who was president of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. While early settlers cultivated cotton
as a commodity crop, they did not succeed
in producing it at competitive market
rates; consequently, cotton farming was
eventually abandoned. More important to
the economy was tourism, which developed
as the railroads began to carry visitors to
the nearby Zion National Park.
At the outbreak of the American Civil War
in 1861, Brigham Young organized the
settlement of what is now Washington
County.
Fearing that the war would take away the
cotton supply, he began plans for raising
enough in this southwestern country to
supply the needs of his people. Enough
favorable reports had come to him from
this warm region below the rim of the Great
Basin, that he was convinced cotton could
be raised successfully here. At the general
church conference in Salt Lake City on
October 6th, 1861, about three hundred
families were “called” to the Dixie mission
to promote the cotton industry. Most of the
people knew nothing of this expedition until
their names were read from the pulpit; but
in nearly every case, they responded with
good will, and made ready to leave within
the month’s time allotted to them. The
families were selected so as to ensure the
communities the right number of farmers,
masons, blacksmiths, businessmen,
educators, carpenters, as needed.

Cedar City, Utah
Cedar City is a city in Iron County, Utah,
United States, 250 miles (400 km) south
of Salt Lake City, and 180 miles (290 km)
north of Las Vegas on Interstate 15. It is the
home of Southern Utah University, the Utah
Shakespeare Festival, the Utah Summer
Games, the Neil Simon Theatre Festival,
and other events. As of the 2010 census,
the city had a total population of 28,857.
In 2011, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated
Cedar City’s population to be 29,213.
The presence of prehistoric people in the
Cedar City area is revealed by rock art
found in Parowan Gap to the north and
Fremont sites dated to A.D. 1000 and 1300.
Ancestors of the present-day southern
Paiute Indians met the Dominguez–
Escalante Expedition in this area in 1776.
Fifty years later, in 1826, mountain man and
fur trader Jedediah Smith traveled through
the area exploring a route from Utah to
California.
Cedar City was originally settled in late
1851 by Mormon pioneers originating from
Parowan, Utah, who were sent to build an
iron works. The site, known as “Fort Cedar”
or “Cedar City,” was equidistant from vast
iron deposits 10 miles (16 km) west and
coal resources 10 miles (16 km) up Cedar
Canyon, but was named after the abundant
local trees (which are actually Junipers
instead of Cedar). Two companies of men
led by Henry Lunt reached the fort site in
a blizzard on November 11, 1851, making
that date the official founding. In 1855,
a new site, closer to the iron works and
out of the flood plain of Coal Creek, was
established at the suggestion of Brigham
Young; present day Cedar City is located
at this site. Cedar City was incorporated on
February 18, 1868.
The iron works closed in 1858, though iron
mining continued in the area until the 1980s.
The completion of a railroad connection to
Cedar City in 1923 established the area as
a tourism gateway to nearby Bryce Canyon
National Park, Zion National Park, and
Grand Canyon National Park, in addition to
Cedar Breaks National Monument. Cedar
City continues to be a center of tourism,
commercial development, education and
the arts in southwestern Utah.
The city has shared in the rapid growth of
much of Southwestern Utah since the late
1980s.
Cedar City is located in the southeast Great
Basin, and is about 20 miles (32 km) north
of the northeastern edge of the Mojave
Desert. Its elevation of 5,840 feet (1,780 m)
gives it a cooler and less arid climate vis-àvis
nearby Dixie, but it retains its cultural ties
to St. George—the two cities, for example,
share a daily newspaper.
Cedar City is located at 37°40’57” North,
113°4’28” West (37.682606, -113.074402).
According to the United States Census
Bureau, the city has a total area of 20.1
square miles (52 km2), none of which is
covered with water.
The city is located on the western edge
of the Markagunt Plateau, in a high desert
valley, Cedar Valley, with no ocean drainage.
The climate is the typical cool semi-arid
climate (BSk) of the Mountain West, though
snowfall can be quite heavy, reaching a
historical maximum of 36.9 inches (0.94
m) in January 1949. Interstate 15 connects
the city with St. George (50 miles) and
Las Vegas (180 miles) to the south, and to
Interstate 70 (70 miles) and Salt Lake City
(250 miles) to the north. State roads connect
Cedar City with Panaca, Nevada near US
93, Kanab, Utah via US-89, and to US 50
and US 6 in Nevada. Similar to St. George,
the city enjoys an excellent location on the
west’s regional transportation network. Los
Angeles is 439 miles (707 km) south and
San Diego is 500 miles (800 km) south on
Interstate 15, Phoenix is 465 miles (748
km) south via Interstate 15 and US-93,
and Denver is 580 miles (930 km) east via
Interstates 15 and 70.
A branch line of the Union Pacific Railroad
serves customers on the western outskits
of the city. The branch connects to the
railway’s main line at Lund.
Cedar City Regional Airport offers flights
via Delta Connection.

Tips for Buying in a Hot Seller’s Market
Let’s face it; we are finally in a strong
sellers market for the first time in several
years. Inventory is low and demand with
the lower interest rates is high, this
creates some unique challenges for the
savvy home buyer.
Here are some tips to possibly relieve
some of the buying stress and frustration:
1. Have your financial house in order,
know how much you can afford by visiting
with a good loan officer and getting
a pre-approval letter, know what
your down payment and other costs
will be and if you need to arrange gift
funds or find a grant.
2. Be realistic and aggressive, you may
be in multiple offer situations, lose
a few dream homes before you are
successful and may have to actually
offer more than the asking price.
3. Be honest with yourself about your
ability to “Fix it up” financially and
physically.
4. Buy a home that will work for you and
your family for 5-10 years, many buyers
regret not buying a larger home
to begin with and growing out of it too
quickly.
5. Sellers pay the commission for your
agent so hire an experienced agency
and take advantage of their expertise.
There is no guarantee of a stress free
purchase but following these steps will
certainly make it easier. Good Luck and
Good Home Hunting

Mesquite, Nevada
Mesquite is a U.S. city in Clark County,
Nevada, adjacent to the Arizona state line
and 80 miles (130 km) northeast of Las
Vegas on Interstate 15. As of 2015, the
United States Census estimates that the
city had a population of 17,496. The city is
located in the Virgin River valley adjacent to
the Virgin Mountains in the northeastern
part of the Mojave Desert. It is home to a
growing retirement community, as well as
several casino resorts and golf courses.
History
Mesquite was settled by Mormon pioneers
in 1880, who called it Mesquite Flat. The
community was finally established on the
third attempt after having been flooded
out from the waters of the Virgin River.
The name was later shortened to Mesquite,
and the city was incorporated by Thelma
Davis in May 1984. The community was
named for the mesquite timber near the
original town site. Mesquite, like nearby
Bunkerville, had its origins in farming. The
Peppermill Mesquite casino, which opened
in the 1970s, drove Mesquite’s diversified
economy. The city incorporated in 1984
and established a master development plan
during the early 1990s. In the mid-1990s,
more casinos opened. By 2006, Mesquite
was one of the fastest-growing small towns
in the United States, though the late-2000s
recession led to the closure of both the
Mesquite Star and Oasis (formerly The
Peppermill) casinos.
Geography
Mesquite occupies the northeast corner of
Clark County and extends north into the
southeast corner of Lincoln County. The
eastern border of the city is the Arizona
state line. The city is in the Virgin River
valley, occupying the northern side of the
river. The city lies adjacent to the Virgin
Mountains in the northeastern Mojave
Desert near the southern mouth of the
Virgin River Gorge.
Interstate 15 passes through the city,
leading southwest 80 miles (130 km) to
downtown Las Vegas and northeast 39
miles (63 km) to St. George, Utah. Nevada
State Route 170 leads south from the center
of town, crossing the Virgin River into the
unincorporated community of Bunkerville
before looping back to I-15 at the western
city limits of Mesquite.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the
city of Mesquite has a total area of 32.4
square miles (83.8 km2), of which 31.9
square miles (82.6 km2) is land and 0.46
square miles (1.2 km2), or 1.40%, is water.
Demographics
As of the census of 2010, there were
15,276 people, 8,911 houses, 6,378
Houses occupied, and 4,444 families
residing in the city. The population density
was 613.3 per square mile (236.8/km²) in
the year 2000. There were 4,442 housing
units at an average density of 290.1 per
square mile (112.0/km²). The racial makeup
of the city was 80.30% White, 1.27% Asian,
0.98% Native American, 0.65% African
American, 0.07% Pacific Islander, 14.56%
from other races, and 2.17% from two or
more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race

3,498 households out of which 28.7% had
children under the age of 18 living with
them, 62.8% were married couples living
together, 7.2% had a female householder
with no husband present, and 26.5% were

were made up of individuals and 7.4% had
someone living alone who was 65 years of
age or older. The average household size
was 2.66 and the average family size was
3.08.
In the city, the population was spread out
with 25.6% under the age of 18, 7.7% from
18 to 24, 22.8% from 25 to 44, 27.3% from

Zion National Park
Zion National Park is an American
national park located in southwestern
Utah near the town of Springdale. A
prominent feature of the 229-squaremile
(590 km2) park is Zion Canyon,
which is 15 miles (24 km) long and up to
2,640 ft (800 m) deep. The canyon walls
are reddish and tan-colored Navajo
Sandstone eroded by the North Fork
of the Virgin River. The lowest point in
the park is 3,666 ft (1,117 m) at Coalpits
Wash and the highest peak is 8,726 ft
(2,660 m) at Horse Ranch Mountain.
Located at the junction of the Colorado
Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave
Desert regions, the park has a unique
geography and a variety of life zones
that allow for unusual plant and animal
diversity. Numerous plant species
as well as 289 species of birds, 75
mammals (including 19 species of bat),
and 32 reptiles inhabit the park’s four life
zones: desert, riparian, woodland, and
coniferous forest. Zion National Park
includes mountains, canyons, buttes,
mesas, monoliths, rivers, slot canyons,
and natural arches.
Human habitation of the area started
about 8,000 years ago with small family
groups of Native Americans, one of which
was the semi-nomadic Basketmaker
Anasazi (c. 300 CE). Subsequently, the
Virgin Anasazi culture (c. 500) and the
Parowan Fremont group developed as
the Basketmakers settled in permanent
communities. Both groups moved away
by 1300 and were replaced by the
Parrusits and several other Southern
Paiute subtribes. Mormons came into
the area in 1858 and settled there in
the early 1860s. In 1909, President
William Howard Taft named the area
Mukuntuweap National Monument in
order to protect the canyon. In 1918,
the acting director of the newly created
National Park Service, Horace Albright,
drafted a proposal to enlarge the existing
monument and change the park’s name
to Zion National Monument, Zion being a
term used by the Mormons. According
to historian Hal Rothman: “The name
change played to a prevalent bias of
the time. Many believed that Spanish
and Indian names would deter visitors
who, if they could not pronounce the
name of a place, might not bother to
visit it. The new name, Zion, had greater
appeal to an ethnocentric audience.”
On November 20, 1919, Congress
redesignated the monument as Zion
National Park, and the act was signed by
President Woodrow Wilson. The Kolob
section was proclaimed a separate Zion
National Monument in 1937, but was
incorporated into the national park in
1956.
The geology of the Zion and Kolob
canyons area includes nine formations
that together represent 150 million
years of mostly Mesozoic-aged
sedimentation. At various periods in
that time warm, shallow seas, streams,
ponds and lakes, vast deserts, and dry
near-shore environments covered the
area. Uplift associated with the creation
of the Colorado Plateau lifted the region
10,000 feet (3,000 m) starting 13 million
years ago.

Wolf Creek Golf Club strives to deliver the
ULTIMATE GOLF EXPERIENCE to each and every
guest. As you are called to the first tee and look
down towards the green, you notice a one of a
kind canvas. The detail of the striped emerald
green fairway below, lined with brilliant white sand
bunkers, you instantly know that Wolf Creek is a
special place. This is only a small sample of what is
yet to come. As you navigate the elevation drops
and wandering canyons, you wonder how they
create this miraculous golf course, each hole unto
its own. After finishing all eighteen holes, you are
hard pressed to come up with just one signature
hole and more often than not amazed with the
picturesque beauty of the course rather than the
score you shot.

St. George Utah Temple
The St. George Utah Temple (formerly the St.
George Temple) is a temple of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS
Church) in St. George, Utah. Completed
in 1877, it was the church’s third temple
completed, but the first in Utah, following
the migration west of members from
Nauvoo, Illinois, following the death of the
church’s founder, Joseph Smith.
The building is located in the southwestern
Utah city of St. George. It was designed by
Truman O. Angell and is more similar in its
design to the Nauvoo Temple than to later
LDS temples. The St. George Temple is the
oldest temple still actively used by the LDS
Church. The temple currently has three
ordinance rooms and 18 sealing rooms,
and a total floor area of 110,000 square
feet (10,200 m2). It was originally designed
with two large assembly halls like the earlier
Kirtland and Nauvoo Temples. The lower
Assembly Hall was partitioned with curtains
to provide the ordinance rooms for the
Endowment Ceremony. In 1938, the lower
Assembly Hall was rebuilt with permanent
walls dividing it into four ordinance rooms.
The four ordinance rooms were later
changed into the present three rooms, at
the time the endowment ceremony was
changed from a live presentation to one
presented on film.
In the 1970s, the temple was closed for
extensive remodeling. LDS Church president
Spencer W. Kimball rededicated it in 1975.
A temple in St. George was announced
on November 9, 1871 by Brigham Young
and was dedicated on April 6, 1877. Even
though the Salt Lake Temple had been
announced and commenced years earlier
(1847 and 1853), construction on that
temple was not completed until 1893. The
St. George Temple was built to satisfy the
church’s immediate need for an appropriate
place for temple ceremonies and ordinances.
Because of the pressing need, the building’s
groundbreaking ceremony was held on the
day the temple was announced. It was the
third to be completed by the church and the
first one in Utah.
Young chose a 6-acre (24,000 m2) plot as
the temple site. Builders soon discovered
that the chosen site was swampy with
numerous underground streams. Young
was consulted on moving the site, but he
remained firm in the idea that this was the
site for the temple. To deal with the swampy
site, workers created drains to eliminate as
much water as possible. Then they brought
lava rock to the site and crushed it into a
gravel to create a dry foundation for the
temple. This led to a new problem: how to
crush the rock. Someone suggested using
an old cannon that the city had acquired.
After creating a pulley system, the cannon
was used as a pile driver to compact the lava
rock and earth and create a firm foundation.
After stabilizing the foundation, work began
on the structure. The walls of the temple
were built of the red sandstone common to
the area and then plastered for a white finish.
Local church members worked for over five
and a half years to complete the temple.
Historians James Allen and Glen Leonard
made note of the dedication shown by the
pioneers in Southern Utah. The workers
opened new rock quarries, cut, hauled and
planed timber, and donated one day in ten
as tithing labor. Some members donated
half their wages to the temple, while others
gave food, clothing and other goods to aid
those who were working full-time on the
building. Women decorated the hallways
with handmade rag carpets and produced
fringe for the altars and pulpits from Utahproduced
silk. At its completion, it contained
1,000,000 board feet (2,000 m3) of lumber,
which had been hand-chopped and hauled
between 40 and 80 miles (60 and 100 km).
They also used 17,000 tons of volcanic rock
and sandstone, hand-cut and hauled by
mule teams.
In honor of the temple, the church’s April
1877 General Conference was held there.
The temple dedication ceremony took place
on April 6, 1877. Young presided and Daniel
H. Wells, his second counselor, gave the
dedicatory prayer. The St. George Temple
was the only temple completed while Young
was president. Shortly after the dedication
and the conference, Young returned to Salt
Lake and died on August 29, 1877, at age
76.
After remodeling of the interior, the temple
was rededicated on November 11, 1975.
On January 25, 2019 the LDS Church
announced that the temple will close on
November 4, 2019 for renovations that
are anticipated to be completed in 2022.
More detailed information on the upcoming
renovations were provided on May 22,
2019.
