Moab's first permanent settlers arrived in the region in the mid-1870s. The Old Spanish Trail had brought travelers through the area for decades, particularly early explorers, and later those headed west looking for gold and silver. Moab's pioneers came and stayed when they found unclaimed grazing lands, and the promise of agricultural and ranching opportunities. When visiting the Musuem of Moab go back in time to see how people lived in the early decades of the Town.
