St. George Homes for Sale

St. George, Utah is the county seat of Washington County. It lies adjacent to the Pine Valley Mountains in the Mojave Desert and is known for the beautiful natural environment and its proximity to many state and national parks. St. George was founded in 1861 as a Mormon cotton mission. Early settlers were able to cultivate the cotton as a commodity but were not able to produce it for a competitive market. Because of that, cotton production was eventually abandoned. However, of the three hundred missionary families that had been sent, there was a balanced number of farmers, businessmen, masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, and educators. With the development of railroads, tourism grew, carrying visitors to Zion National Park, which is nearby. Because the city was established around hills, waterways, mesas, and desert habitat, the natural boundaries of communities within the city make it feel more rural than urban. Today some 80,200 people call St. George home.
