Moab: Historical

Moab, Utah, located in southeastern Utah has become a mecca for the adventurous spirit. Moab was first settled in 1855 by Mormons who quickly abandoned their remote outpost because they were frightened of the area’s Native American population. It was resettled in 1876. Since that time, the city and its people have carved an existence as changing as the eroded desert around it. Moab has served as a river-irrigated fruit growing center, a dock for ill-fated steam powered paddle boats on the Colorado River, and in the 1950’s, a uranium boom town. In the 1980’s the uranium market fell and Moab was forced to look to other means of economic income. A few of the locals decided to build a bicycle shop, rent bicycles, and offer guided tours. (After all, the outside is beautiful).
