Cedar City Utah Temple

The Cedar City Utah Temple was the seventeenth temple built in Utah. One of the great temple hymns, High on a Mountain Top, was written by Joel Hill Johnson while living in Enoch, Utah, a suburb of Cedar City. A youth cultural celebration was held the evening before the dedication of the Cedar City Utah Temple at the Centrum Arena on Saturday, December 9, 2017. This temple serves church members in Cedar City, Utah.
Plans for the Cedar City Utah Temple have been presented to the local government for construction on South Cove Drive. On the weekend of the temple announcement, numerous members visited the site—on the north side of Leigh Hill—as it was already understood by many that property had been acquired there for a temple.[Sam Penrod and Carole Mikita, "LDS General Conference draws to a close," KSL.com 7 Apr. 2013, 7 Apr. 2013]
In September 2012, seven months before the announcement, ground on the hill was subdivided into three parcels: a large parcel on the west side of S Cove Dr, a parcel on the east side of the street, and a parcel to the north. The Church finalized purchase of the 21-acre west-side parcel the following November.2 Leigh Hill rises high on the west side of the city, commanding a beautiful view of the mountains to the east.
