As the first settlement of southern Utah (settled January, 13, 1851), Parowan is affectionately called the "Mother Town of Southern Utah.  Many of the original homes and business buildings still line the downtown area of the community, along with a tree-lined Main Street that take visitors on a nostalgic trip back through time.  Pioneer museums, a historic cemetery and numerous historic sites are open for visitors to see.

Parowan also is the gateway from Interstate 15 to some of the most spectacular scenic attractions, state and national parks, Utah's Patchwork Parkway Historic Byway 143, and varied natural geological formations.

The Town of Parowan invites you to tour through our website and enjoy our hometown hospitality.  Here, you'll find information on community services and events, scenic attractions, history, businesses and recreational activities our area has to offer.

Hi, I will be in need of a new photo to put in the upper left hand corner of the website to replace the summer solstice photo.  If you have a stunning photo you think might fit into this aspect ratio please send it to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .  I would also like to rotate out some of the other photos on the site, if you have any photos that would serve that purpose please submit those as well.  If I use your photo I would be glad to acknowlege your name in the tooltip of the photo.  This website belongs to the residents of Parowan, I appreciate your support.
