History
Toquerville was named after an early Paiute chief. The population has grown from only 19 families in the late 1800s. Toquerville's proximity to Zion National Park has created a healthy tourism economy where the community traditionally had depended on agriculture.
From establishment to some time after 1882, Toquerville served as the county seat of Kane County, before the county's boundaries shifted eastward to their present location.
Although it was still a town at the 2000 census, Toquerville became a city at the end of 2000.
