History

Enoch was founded by Joel H. Johnson. It was originally known as Johnson’s Springs and Fort Johnson.

Enoch was originally settled as part of an iron mission along with Cedar City and Parowan. The area was originally known as “Fort Johnson” and “Johnson Springs”, after Joel H. Johnson, the earliest known white settler, who came to the area in 1851 with his family. In 1890, the area’s name was changed to “Enoch”, to avoid confusion with another settlement in Utah also named Johnson Springs. Enoch was officially incorporated on January 10, 1966, absorbing nearby Grimshawville, Stevensville, and Williamsville. The present name is after the Order of Enoch.

Enoch was incorporated on 10 January 1966 and at that time absorbed the neighboring communities of Grimshawville, Stevensville and Williamsville.

In June 2011, a new stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was created. There are now the Enoch and Enoch West stakes. The dividing line is Minersville Highway.

In August 2021, the city sustained heavy flooding. The mayor of Enoch declared a state of emergency and the Red Cross set up a shelter to help citizens who were displaced by flooding in their homes. Iron County’s emergency management coordinator reported that about 200 homes were damaged.

On January 4, 2023, a man shot and killed his wife, five children and mother-in-law before killing himself. His wife had recently filed for divorce.
