Kanab, County seat in Kane County, Utah, United States.
Situated at an elevation of 1515 meters, Kanab extends across a section of southwestern Utah near multiple national parks and scenic formations.
Jacob Hamblin established Kanab in 1864, constructing Fort Kanab on the east bank of Kanab Creek to support exploration and settlement activities.
The area gained recognition as Little Hollywood due to numerous western films produced there, including Stagecoach and The Lone Ranger productions.
Kanab Municipal Airport provides general aviation services while U.S. Routes 89 and 89A intersect within the city limits for regional transportation.
The region attracted attention in 1914 when Freddy Crystal claimed to have found clues about Montezuma's treasure in the surrounding mountains.
