Several towns, including Kanab, were first settled in the 1860s, then abandoned. Kanab was resettled in 1870 at the request of Brigham Young. Until the 1920s, most of the county's residents were farmers or ranchers.
In the 1920s, the Parry brothers of Kanab developed lodging, food, and other services for film crews shooting cowboy movies in the area.

Kanab is still a touristic center. Movies, not so much now.
