Cedar City

Few cities in Utah have a history as closely tied to the nineteenth-century iron industry as Cedar City. Founded in 1851 by Latter-day Saint settlers sent to develop local iron deposits, the community helped shape the identity of Iron County. Coal Creek runs through the city, with southern Utah’s plateaus and canyon country extending beyond its streets. Cedar City is home to Southern Utah University and the Utah Shakespeare Festival, founded in 1961. It also provides access to Cedar Breaks National Monument and the region’s extensive public lands.
