St. George, County seat in southwestern Utah, United States.
St. George sits at an elevation of 872 meters in the northeasternmost part of the Mojave Desert, featuring red rock canyons and warm temperatures throughout the year.
The settlement, established in 1861 under Erastus Snow's direction, started as a cotton mission to maintain supplies during the American Civil War period.
The St. George Arts Festival brings together local artists, while the Tuacahn Center for the Arts presents theater productions in an outdoor setting near red rock formations.
The St. George Regional Airport provides regular flights to major cities, and the SunTran bus system operates six fixed routes throughout the metropolitan area.
The January 2005 floods transformed the landscape of St. George, leading to the implementation of new infrastructure and emergency management systems across the region.
