Around 1854 a lone gentleman and his family settled this town. In honor of the Swiss who first settled in this city around 1861 the city celebrates Swiss Days at the end of September. The grand parade at this event includes motorcycles, antique cars, local businesses and schools, live animals and homemade floats. Featured at this festival is the Red Rock Car show at Canyon View Park in addition to continuous entertainment, dog agility demonstrations, heritage displays, pioneer craft demonstrations, family history lectures and for the kiddies children’s activities. Santa Clara was at one time known for its fruit and produce production. It’s comforting for the residents to know that Santa Clara is on the SafeWise 40 Safest Cities in Utah List.
