YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIONA -- Cool fall air rustling the leaves on the tree-lined streets in this community is a stark contrast to when settlers arrived in 1883.
Dense sagebrush rumored to be as tall as a man on a horse filled the area now known as Iona. The settlers were ready to leave by June 17, 1884, when settlers including Thomas E. Ricks filled a makeshift church created by running boards across a wagon box for seats. Then Apostle Wilford Woodruff of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke and gave what became known as the wagon box prophesy.
“He made this famous prediction that if they stayed the desert would bloom like a rose and it has,” said Iona Mayor Dan Gubler.
