History

On November 28, 1861, about 93 pioneers under the leadership of Daniel Bonelli were sent by President Brigham Young to settle southern Utah and raise cotton and grapes. They located at the fort built by Jacob Hamblin and others along Santa Clara Creek, one mile west of the present townsite. The fort and many other buildings, dam and ditches were washed away by floods on January 1, 1862. Lack of food, shelter and clothing tested their endurance for years.
