Summit is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in east-central Iron County, Utah, United States. The population was 170 at the 2020 census.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]Summit was named for the fact that it sits on the divide between the Parowan Valley and Cedar Valley.
At first the area around Summit Creek was a grazing area for Parowan to the north. In the spring of 1858, Samuel T. Orton and other families moved to Summit Creek and began farming and tending bees, sheep and cattle. By July 1877 an LDS ward was organized in Summit. Sylvanus C. Hulet was its first bishop. Originally educating their children in a one-room log schoolhouse, it was upgraded later to a concrete building, then from 1920 to 1936, to a two-room brick schoolhouse for students up to the seventh grade.[3]: 184
