LDS History
St. George is often referred to as “Utah’s Dixie.” Upon arrival here, pioneers discovered in 1861, with the help of irrigation, cotton could grow abundantly in the St. George area. By 1854 the LDS Church had established an Indian mission at Santa Clara, two miles north of the St. George Valley. In 1857 and 1858 experimental farms were set up to the east and west of where St. George was to be built. While touring the experimental desert farms in May 1861, Brigham Young predicted the settling of the area. Five months later, in October 1861, 309 families were called by church authorities to what was called the Cotton Mission. Most of those sent had abilities that were deemed essential to establishing a successful community.
