| Enoch
(Iron County) is six miles north of Cedar City and west
of old US-91. The community had an early name of Elkhorn
Springs because elk horns were found by the springs. Joel,
Seth, Nephi, and Sextus Johnson were the first settlers
in 1851, resulting in the name Fort Johnson and later Johnsons
Settlement. The name Enoch was given to the settlement in
1884 when some of the settlers were living under the Order
of Enoch, or the United Order. Enoch was an ancient biblical
prophet who "walked with God." (John
W. Van Cott) |
