Parowan is called the "Mother of southern Utah," because it was the first city settled in the southern part of the state. Parley Pratt, sent by Brigham Young, dedicated the townsite in 1850. The first settlers arrived in January of 1851. The word, pronounced "Para-win" or "Para-one," is a Paiute word meaning "evil water."
A couple blocks from our house lives the Parowan Prophet. His name is Leland Freeborn and he has been given a vision of WW III. While this blog embraces self-reliance, I doubt that we have as much of the survivalist spirit as our neighbor. His website is below.
