Santa Clara, Utah

Santa Clara was named by Spanish explorers in honor of a saint.  "Santa means a female saint and "Clara' means a short interval of fair weather.  In the spring of 1854, missionaries came and stayed with the Paiute Indians living in the area.  Later that year, Jacob Hamblin and company arrived in the valley and worked with the 800-member Paiute tribe, who were already farming along the Santa Clara Creek.  Together they built the first irrigation canal, and the first cotton grown in the Utah Territory.

Today you can enjoy their historic tree-lined streets which are only minutes from St George. This historic community was built on banks of the Santa Clara Creek  and was the considered the  oasis of the area especially for travelers going to Southern California.  Dennis Drake, mayor of Santa Clara wants the city to continue to be a blossoming town rising in the middle of a desert.  The population is now approximately 5,000. 

Numerous young families have made Santa Clara Heights their home in the many new neighborhoods overlooking magnificent  views of the red rock mountains, black lava fields  and Snow Canyon.  City Manager, Matt Brower, says, "We don't want the noises, the sound, the lights.  We want the bedroom community atmosphere." 

There are many historic sites within this city:  The Jacob Hamblin Home, the Santa Clara Historical Park, the Santa Clara Heritage Square, and the Santa Clara Historic Fort Site.  All these are celebrated at the annual Swiss Days in August every year. The proposed Santa Clara River Reserve, west of downtown, features numerous petroglyphs. Check in at the city office for information and directions.
