Kanab, Utah
Kanab (/kəˈnæb/ kə-NAB) is a city in and the county seat of Kane County, Utah, United States. It is located on Kanab Creek just north of the Arizona state line.
The area where Kanab is located was first settled in 1864, and the town was founded in 1870 when 10 Mormon families moved into the area. Named for a Paiute word meaning "place of the willows," Fort Kanab was built on the east bank of Kanab Creek in 1864 for defense against attack and as a base for exploration of the area. The population was 4,683 at the 2020 census.
Kanab is situated in the "Grand Circle" area, centrally located among Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Bryce Canyon National Park, the Grand Canyon (North Rim), Zion National Park, Pipe Spring National Monument, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, and Lake Powell. Other nearby attractions include Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, the privately owned Moqui Cave, and the largest animal sanctuary in the United States, Best Friends Animal Society.
Referring to Kanab's proximity to the many spectacular rock formations, a welcome sign to the town calls it "The Greatest Earth on Show."
Locals refer to Kanab as "Little Hollywood" due to its history as a filming location for many movies and television series, prominently Westerns such as Stagecoach (1939), The Lone Ranger, Death Valley Days. Gunsmoke, Daniel Boone, El Dorado (1966), Planet of the Apes (1968), Mackenna's Gold, WindRunner: A Spirited Journey, Western Union (1941), The Desperadoes (1943), In Old Oklahoma (1943), Buffalo Bill (1944), Westward the Women (1952), The Yellow Tomahawk (1954), Tomahawk Trail (1957), Fort Bowie (1958), Sergeants Three (1962), Duel at Diablo (1966), Ride in the Whirlwind (1965), Convict Stage (1965), The Shooting (1966), and The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976).
As of the 2010 census, 4,312 people, 1,729 households, and 1,130 families resided in the township. The population density was 308 people per square mile (98.2/km2). The 1,999 housing units had an average density of 141.8 per square mile (41.1/km2). The racial makeup of the town was 96.2% White, 0.3% African American, 1.0% Native American, 0.3% Asian, 0.8% from other races, and 1.4% from two or more races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race were 4.2% of the population.
Of the 1,729 households, 25.7% had children under 18 living with them, a decrease of 6.4% compared to the 2000 census; 65.4% were married couples living together, 6.7% had a female householder with no husband present, and 34.6% were nonfamilies, an increase of 7.9% over the 2000 census. 30.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 13% had someone living alone who was 65 or older. The average household size was 2.44 and the average family size was 3.08.
