Founded by Latter-day Saints near the present city of Winslow in 1876, it was three miles north of Winslow's current city center, along the Little Colorado River. It was organized as a Latter-Day Saints ward in 1878, but by 1881 it had been abandoned.〔Andrew Jenson. ''Encyclopedic History of the Church''. (Salt Lake City: Deseret News Press, 1941). p. 88.〕 Twenty Mormon families and fifteen bachelors from Salt Lake City settled the area, and built homes inside protective walls originally measuring long and high. Flash flooding that washed away the dams and irrigation systems led to crop failures and caused the abandonment of the town by 1881. The US Census listed its population as 191 in 1880. Brigham City was one of four Little Colorado River colonies.〔Tanner, George S and J Morris Richards, ''Colonization on the Little Colorado: The Joseph City Region'' (Flagstaff, Arizona: 1977) xiii.〕 The other colonies were Joseph City, Sunset, and Obed. Joseph City is the only remaining colony.〔Tanner, George S and J Morris Richards, ''Colonization on the Little Colorado: The Joseph City Region'' (Flagstaff, Arizona: 1977) 21, 32, 34.〕 Brigham City was added to the National Register of Historic Places as of June 9, 1978, and the remnants are currently undergoing restoration.〔 Thirty-seven of the community's buildings remained sufficiently well preserved to qualify as contributing properties when the community was designated a historic site in 1978.〔 ==See also== * The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Arizona 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brigham City, Arizona」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
