St. George, UT indeed lies within a beautiful area. Brigham Young built a winter home there. It is quite a large and expensive house for the time and the remoteness. He called the area 'Dixie' and planned to grow cotton there if needed on account of the war between the states. St. George was named after one of the Mormon leaders who got along with the various native tribes well. George wore dentures and a toupee which he would take out and off to entertain the natives.
St. George is the home to many polygamists even to this day.
