About St. George

Cotton fields to boomtown

Although settlers reached Washington County as early as 1852, St. George, Utah was founded in 1861, when Brigham Young sent pioneers to this far corner of the Utah Territory to grow cotton and wine grapes and harvest silk for the Civil War–torn North. The cotton fields are gone and the wineries are closed, but the town they built endured — and grew.

The county’s largest city sits along Interstate 15, one of the nation’s key north–south routes between California and Salt Lake City, Denver, and Albuquerque. That position — plus the climate, the scenery, and the low cost of building — turned Washington County into one of the fastest-growing communities in the United States.

From 1990 to 1995 the county grew a staggering 50 percent and St. George grew 61 percent, while the rest of the state grew 16. By the end of the decade the St. George–Zion National Park area was rated among the best places in the country to retire by Rand McNally, Money, and the AARP — and the new homes followed.

It wasn’t only retirees. Young working families joined the migration to Utah’s Dixie for the climate, the scenery, the family atmosphere, and the job opportunities — building one of the most stable workforces in the nation.
