Saint George: Desert Gateway to Zion National Park
Saint George sits in the southwestern corner of Utah, about 120 miles northeast of Las Vegas and 300 miles south of Salt Lake City. The city was founded in 1861 when Brigham Young dispatched a company of 309 families to establish a cotton-growing settlement in the warmer climate of the Virgin River basin. The effort gave the region its historical nickname, Utah's Dixie. The Saint George Utah Temple, dedicated in 1877, was the first operating Latter-day Saint temple in Utah and remains the oldest in continuous use.
Zion National Park lies about 40 miles northeast of Saint George. The park receives more than four million visitors annually and Saint George functions as the primary airline and highway gateway. Saint George Regional Airport, opened in 2011 on a mesa south of the city, replaced a smaller downtown airfield and offers commercial service to Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, and seasonally to other destinations.
Utah Tech University, known until 2022 as Dixie State University, is the public four-year institution in the city. The school changed its name following legislative action prompted by concerns about the historical connotations of the Dixie label. The university enrolls roughly 12,000 students. Saint George has also become a significant retirement destination, with the population expanding past 96,000 on the strength of in-migration from California, Nevada, and the Wasatch Front.
