Santa Clara

Built around the irrigable valley of the Santa Clara River, Santa Clara grew into a residential city on the western edge of the St. George metropolitan area. The river joins the Virgin River nearby, while red-rock terrain and desert slopes shape the wider setting between the Mojave Desert and the Colorado Plateau. The community was settled by Latter-day Saint pioneers in the 1850s and later welcomed Swiss immigrant families, a heritage marked by the annual Swiss Days celebration. Nearby Snow Canyon State Park is known for lava flows, sandstone formations and hiking trails.
