Zion National Park
Zion National Park was established on November 19, 1919.
Humans first entered the area of the present day park about 8,000 years ago. They mostly camped in the area while hunting and searching for plants and seeds. Some groups began growing corn and other crops about 2,000 years ago. They also established permanent villages.
