Cedar City, Utah is a community of about 28,000 people located in Iron County.

Rock art dating from the years 1000 to 1300 AD has been found around Cedar City, indicating that humans have lived in the era since prehistory. The first Americans of European descent to settle the area were a group of Mormon pioneers, who arrived in 1851. For a brief period after this initial settlement, an ironworks operated in Cedar City, but closed in 1858. However, iron mining remained an important industry in Cedar City well into the late 20th Century.

In 1923, a railroad connection to the city was completed, allowing Cedar City, Utah to serve as a gateway for tourists visiting the area's several national parks, such as Zion National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park.
