Growth
With a growth rate of 6%, Washington County's 2006 populaton of 130,000 is projected to nearly double in the next 14 years to 250,000. Growth is occurring primarily via in-migration from outside areas, representing people from all 50 states. Nonetheless, the majority arrive from northern Utah, California and Nevada. |

History
Southern Utah was originally inhabited by Anasazi Indian tribes, which were replaced by Paiute tribes around 1200 AD. Mormon pioneers began settling in 1854, creating the towns of St. George, Hurricane, Santa Clara, Toquerville and the surrounding communities. With only a few thousand residents, the county remained quiet until being discovered again in the 1990's by the upcoming generation of retirees seeking the natural beauty and warm climate. |

Attractions
While retirees will always be significant, the greater St. George area has become an excellent investment opportunity primarily because southern Utah provides so many attractions for singles, couples and family life. Finding the perfect lot or home requires a detailed understanding of the attractions near each neighborhood.
