| Description |
The old "Swing Tree" in Bluff City. The first Mormon Church meetings in Bluff supposedly took place under this tree in 1879. The tree was destroyed by the San Juan River in 1908. |
| Comment |
Bluff City, later simply called Bluff, is halfway between Mexican Hat and Blanding. The town was settled in 1880 by the Mormon Church's San Juan Mission expedition and called Bluff City because of the bluffs along the San Juan River. It was the first Anglo-Saxon settlement in San Juan County. |
