Historical Significance:
The Old Toquerville Ward Church House, built between 1855 and 1866, was dedicated in 1867 by Erastus Snow. This building is both historically and architecturally significant as one of the oldest extant LDS meeting houses in Utah and is among the best-preserved examples of early church buildings. It is the oldest remaining church building in Toquerville, having replaced an earlier adobe structure that served as both a meetinghouse and a school. This church house is a premier example of the Greek Revival temple-forum style and is listed on the State Register.

Tree City
For twelve consecutive years, Toquerville has proudly held the distinction of being recognized as a Tree City USA Community by the Arbor Day Foundation. This recognition not only signifies the beauty of our neighborhoods adorned with trees but also highlights the environmental and health benefits they bring to our residents.
From Tree City USA:
Cooler temperatures. Cleaner air. Higher property values. Healthier residents. The advantages trees offer urban environments are vast — and as a Tree City USA, our community reaps these benefits firsthand. The Tree City USA program offers communities a structured approach to maintaining and expanding their tree canopy. It also provides an opportunity to showcase their dedication to environmental stewardship to residents, visitors, and the nation.
A thriving urban forest brings numerous benefits to our community:
- Trees reduce urban noise pollution by up to 40%.
- Areas with trees are noticeably cooler, often by seven to nine degrees Fahrenheit.
- Energy costs can decrease by up to 25% due to tree shading and windbreaks.
- Properties with trees tend to have higher values.
- Green spaces contribute significantly to mental and physical well-being.
- Tree planting and maintenance help mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Join us in celebrating our commitment to trees and the positive impact they have on Toquerville City! More information can be found here.
