Hurricane, UT
Hurricane is a city in Washington County, Utah, United States. Its population was 20,036 as of the 2020 United States Census estimates. The Hurricane Valley makes up the easternmost part of the St. George metropolitan area and is near Zion National Park. Hurricane is known for its historic peach and pecan orchards, open space, and green fields.
Hurricane was first settled in 1896 and received its name after a whirlwind blew the top off a buggy in which Erastus Snow was riding. Snow exclaimed, "Well, that was a Hurricane. We'll name this 'Hurricane Hill'."
Hurricane, which is pronounced "Her-ah-kun" by residents (mimicking the accent of early Liverpudlian settlers), is in eastern Washington County. The community was settled as part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) President Brigham Young's "Cotton Mission", intended to establish the southern end of Utah for agricultural purposes. The town once operated a large peach and apricot orchard for the LDS Church and is historically known for small farms of peaches, pecans, and pistachio nuts.
The 1992 St. George earthquake destroyed three houses and various utilities, causing about US$1 million in damage.
The town has multiple parks, a dog park, a city pool, and a large community center, several ranked golf courses, two recreational reservoirs (Sand Hollow and Quail Creek State Parks), and a small municipal airfield. The Hurricane Valley Heritage Park Museum is located on the corner of State Street and Main. The area has several medical clinics.
Hurricane Canal was focal to the Hurricane Valley for approximately 80 years. It was built in 11 years (1893–1904), mostly by pick and shovel. Since 1985, the canal has been empty. In 2000, special interest groups came together to preserve the canal, receiving grants and volunteering time to construct a trail in tribute to the efforts the early settlers put forth to make the canal a reality. A monument at the trailhead briefly recounts the canal story. Much of the trail, which covers a small section of the canal, is the actual west bank of the canal, which "canal riders" rode every day when the canal was in operation to ensure there were no leaks or other problems because the bank was somewhat unstable. The trail provides views of the towns of Hurricane and La Verkin throughout. The trail ends before reaching the Virgin River Gorge, approximately five miles from the canal's former headwaters.
Sand Hollow State Park contains a 1,322-acre reservoir, multiple camping locations, and off-roading trails, and is located in the south part of Hurricane. In addition to the sand beaches which are open to OHVs, the state park provides tunnel access across Utah State Route 7 to the neighboring Sand Mountain, which houses the popular Hurricane Sand Dunes. Sand Hollow can be accessed from Utah State Route 9, via Sand Hollow Road, or from State Route 7.
Quail Creek State Park has a 600-acre reservoir and a campground. The reservoir is partially fed by Quail Creek to the north. The reservoir is for fishing, boating, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The state park can be accessed from either State Route 9 or Old Highway 91 via 5300 W/State Route 318.
The Virgin River forms nearly all of Hurricane's north border. It travels through the city's Confluence Park and crosses State Route 9 at both the Hurricane-La Verkin border and near Quail Creek 3 miles from Harrisburg Junction. The river indirectly provides water to hurricanes and most of Washington County.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 31.5 square miles (82 km2), of which 31.1 square miles (81 km2) is land and 0.4 square miles (1.0 km2) (1.39%) is water.
