Santa Clara History
Santa Clara was named by Spanish explorers in honor of a saint. "Santa" means a female saint and "Clara" means a short interval of fair weather. In the spring of 1854, missionaries came and stayed with the Paiute Indians living in the area. Later that year, Jacob Hamblin and company arrived in the valley and worked with the 800-member Paiute tribe, who were already farming along the Santa Clara Creek. Together they built the first irrigation canal, and the first cotton grown in the Utah Territory.
Today, Santa Clara is a growing Utah city, conveniently located just minutes from St. George, Washington, and exciting parks and attractions.
