Mount Carmel (Kane County) is in Long Valley, south of Glendale on
the East Fork of the Virgin River. The community was first settled
in 1864 by Dr. Priddy Meeks and his family. It had an early name of
Winsor (Windsor) for Anson P. Winsor, the Mormon church official who
had jurisdiction over this area. The valley was soon vacated because
of Indian problems, but was resettled in 1871 under the name of Mount
Carmel, a mountain in northwest Israel.
