Santaquin

Santaquin has served as an agricultural community in southern Utah County since the mid-19th century. Settled in 1851 by Latter-day Saint pioneers, it was named for Santaquin, a Ute leader. The city stands near the western slopes of the Wasatch Range and Mount Nebo, the range’s highest peak, at the meeting point of Utah Valley and Juab Valley. Fruit growing remains central to local identity and is celebrated annually during Santaquin Orchard Days. Interstate 15 provides a direct north–south route through central Utah, while nearby foothills lead toward mountain country.
