1897 · Southern Utah University
Age 1
In the spring of 1897, Cedar City was notified it had been chosen as the site for another teaching training school in southern Utah. For three months, citizens labored to complete the first building of the school before the next school year. After two months, school officials informed the school administrators that the school didn’t comply with the new state law and they need to build a new building on land deeded to the state. The University was first known as the Branch Normal School. A few years later, the School became part of the school of the Utah State Agriculture College and was called the branch Agriculture College. Since becoming a College, it changed its name three more times. The last being Southern Utah University, after it was given university status in 1991. It is home to the Utah Summer Games and the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
Name Meaning
Welsh: derivative of Evan , from Efan, Ifan, medieval forms of Ieuan (from Latin Johannes, the source of English John), dating from c. 1500, with the post-medieval patronymic suffix -s. Welsh Sion was a separate borrowing of English John, and Evan (Ieuan) and Sion developed as independent names.
