Named by Erastus Snow when a whirlwind blew the top off his buggy, Hurricane sits on the western edge of the Zion National Park, 20 miles northeast of St. George. Hurricane is part of Washington County and there you can find the fair grounds, Sand Hollow Reservoir Park and the Washington County Equestrian Center.
Hurricane has one high school, Hurricane High School (encompassing grades 10-12), attended by students from the surrounding communities of La Verkin, Toquerville, and Springdale, among others. The community supports a middle school, Hurricane Middle School (encompassing grades 8-9), an intermediate school Hurricane Intermediate School (encompassing grades 6-7), and two elementary schools, Hurricane Elementary School and Three Falls Elementary School. There is also a Hurricane-based center for nearby Dixie State College of Utah.
