Washington

Washington’s setting is defined by arid desert terrain along the Virgin River, which has shaped both the city’s settlement pattern and local economy. Part of Utah’s “Dixie” country in the state’s southwest, the city developed where irrigation made farming possible in a hot, dry valley. The Historic Washington Cotton Mill recalls the 19th-century LDS Cotton Mission, when settlers sought to establish cotton production in southern Utah. Washington forms part of the St. George urban area, with Red Cliffs National Conservation Area nearby and Zion National Park farther east.
