There are a substantial number of irrigation schedules and minutes, some of which are included in account books. The records of the irrigation companies that tell the story of the men and women who struggled to survive in the harsh environment of southern Utah are an important part of the state's historical heritage. One such history is that of the Springdale Consolidated Irrigation Company. The community of Springdale is in Washington County near the entrance to Zion National Park. Settled in 1862 on the banks of the North Fork of the Virgin River, the town takes its name from the abundance of springs to be found in its environs.
