The St. George Utah Temple is the third operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Located in the city of St. George, Utah, it was the first LDS temple built in the Rocky Mountains.
The LDS temple in St. George was announced in 1871 by Brigham Young, and was one of the first to be constructed by the church. The Salt Lake City Temple had been announced years before in 1847 but construction was still underway and would be until 1893, so the St. George Temple was built to satisfy the church's immediate need for a temple. The temple was built on a 6 acre plot, has 3 ordinance rooms and 18 sealing rooms, and has a total floor area of 110,000 feet.
Originally dedicated on April 6, 1877, by Daniel H. Wells, the temple was renovated and rededicated on November 11, 1975 by Spencer W. Kimball.
