The Washington County Historical Society is hosting a free walking/driving tour of Toquerville!
🤠 When: Nov.8, 2025
🕰️ Time: 10 a.m.
🧭 Where: Toquerville Town Hall, 212 North Toquer Boulevard
Toquerville was settled in 1858 by six Mormon families adjacent to Ash Creek. When they arrived, they were met by Chief Toquer of the Paiute, Toquit or Toqurat Indians who invited them to settle nearby. The settlers named the new settlement Toquerville in his honor.
The town became likened to an oasis in the Arabian Desert as the traveler emerged from a harsh desert to a cultivated island of figs, pomegranates, peaches, grapes and lucerne (alfalfa). Toquerville is also known for being part of the Mormon Wine Mission, which was ancillary to the Cotton Mission of 1861. Today, Toquerville is the northern gateway to Zion National Park.
Lifetime resident, Kay Chamberlain, and her husband, Lynn Chamberlain, a former mayor of Toquerville, will lead participants on a driving tour, intermixed with short walks to several historic buildings in Toquerville, Utah on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025.
