Description:Wayne County lies between the High Plateaus and the Green River in south-central Utah. Eons of geologic history are visible, especially in Capitol Reef National Park, first set aside in 1937 after decades of effort by residents. Ancient peoples and ancestors of modern Utes and Southern Paiutes left many traces on the land, and in the 1920s the Fremont Culture was first identified here by anthropologist Noel Morss. In the late 1870s the first Mormon settlers arrived with their livestock and took up land. In 1892 they separated from Piute County when the legislature created Wayne County. Since then, the county has struggled to build and maintain water, power, and communication systems, roads, and schools.Wayne's remote location (which attracted outlaws like Butch Cassidy), small population, and limited resources precluded the development of an industrial base or large businesses. Because only 6 percent of the land is privately owned, land use issues loom large as residents try to maintain a cherished rural lifestyle while seeking job opportunities for their children. Community life, centered on church and family, has flourished from the beginning, with people frequently gathering to enjoy holidays and other activities.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
