History

Toquerville was named after an early

Paiute chief. The population has grown from only 19 families in the late 1800s. Toquerville's proximity to Zion National Park
has created a healthy tourism economy where the community traditionally had depended on agriculture.

Although it was still a town at the 2000 census, Toquerville became a city at the end of 2000.[6]
