St. George (Images of America) Rafting making her artwork truly specialBy Kathleen Broeder and Dianne Aldrich St. George was founded in 1861 when over 300 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints pioneer families were called on a mission to settle in a barren desert hundreds of miles from the nearest city. Pioneers grew cotton, and the warm climate reminded people of the Southern states, so it gained the nickname "Utah's Dixie." The first families strived to cultivate a life and farm on the banks of the Virgin River.
