When it comes to the history of southern Utah, you shouldn’t skip Santa Clara. There is the Santa Clara Valley which is where the pioneer settlers first build their homes and lives. And then there is the Santa Clara Heights, raised just above, which has many beautiful homes. This is the fairly new, but established neighborhood from which there seems to be disproportionately less homes that come up for sale, out of that area. The local Snow Canyon High school is prevalent as you drive out along its main thorough fair.
There are cute little shops along Santa Clara Drive which is the main road that goes through the older quaint part of town. It’s only minutes away from St. George which has a wide selection of shopping, lodging, and banking.
Santa Clara has a real hometown feel. The people are really friendly, and there is a lot of beauty in both the valley and the heights. Lots of trees (for the area), some farm land and the famous Santa Clara River.
If you like history, there is the small Thomas Judd Store that opened in 1911 or the Jacob Hamblin home which is truly rustic. It’s a must see for any history buff. You get a real feel for the harsh reality that the pioneers went through so long ago. The town is a wonderful mix of old and new. There are little reminders of the towns establishment through out. Such as History Square and the Sara Pulsipher Statue. It’s just a small place in southern Utah that is rich with history, but it’s one that shouldn’t be missed.
