In 1854, Jacob Hamblin was called by Brigham Young to serve a mission to the southern Paiute and settled at Santa Clara in the vicinity of the modern city of St. George, Utah. The town is among the oldest in the area. The first settlers built Fort Clara or Fort Santa Clara, in the winter of 1855–1856.


In the fall of 1861, Swiss Mormon colonists arrived at the new settlement. Shortly afterward, in early 1862, they were victims of a severe flood in the Santa Clara River that destroyed the fort and most other buildings, along with irrigation dams and ditches. This event was part of the Great Flood of 1862.Hamblin's first home in Santa Clara was destroyed in the flood.


His second wife Rachael saved one of their young children from drowning, but the child soon after died from exposure. Rachael never fully recovered from exposure she suffered during the flood. Swearing to avoid such a risk again, Hamblin built a new home on a hill in Santa Clara. It is owned today by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which operates it as a house museum.


Mormon missionaries give daily tours. 19th-century Santa Clara was largely inhabited by Mormon immigrants from Switzerland. Among these was Daniel Bonelli, who after the 1862 flood became a pioneer colonist of St. Thomas, Nevada in the Moapa Valley. He was a farmer, salt miner, and owner of Bonelli's Ferry, at Rioville, Nevada.


This was on the road between southwestern Utah and Arizona, at the confluence of the Virgin River and the Colorado River.
