History of Cedar Breaks National Monument
The wild and rugged land compromising the area where Cedar Breaks lies today was known to 1800 Mormon settlers as “Breaks,” due to how difficult it was to travel in the area. In the 1920’s Iron and Kane Counties worked together to have a road constructed from Cedar City to Highway 89. A paved road up to Cedar Breaks was also built. President Franklin D. Roosevelt named Cedar Breaks a National Monument on August 22, 1933. The monument is managed today by the National Park Service. In the summer of 2006 parties have worked to have this outstanding monument become a National Park.
