History
Missionaries transcribed “Łeeyi’ tó” as Klagetoh. “Łeeyi’ tó” translates as underground water which is now an abandoned well. It was the first well to be developed and used by the community. The abandoned well is located approximately ⅛ of a mile east of the Red Mesa Store.
The people who pioneered Klagetoh itself are not remembered, at least by name. The Anasazi had a thriving settlement here once, perhaps with almost as many residents as the 6,000-person chapter boasts today.
