History

Under the direction of John Taylor, Silas S. Smith led about 230 Mormons on expedition to start a farming community in southeastern Utah.^{[citation needed]} After forging about 200 miles (320 kilometers) of their own trail over difficult terrain, the settlers arrived on the site of Bluff in April 1880.^{[citation needed]} (The trail followed went over and down the "Hole In the Rock," which now opens into one of the tributaries of Lake Powell.) The town survived despite hostilities from Navajos^{[citation needed]}, Utes^{[citation needed]}, belligerent cattlemen, outlaws, and nature. The town’s population had declined to seventy by 1930^{[citation needed]} but rebounded during a uranium prospecting boom in the 1950s.^{[citation needed]} With the uranium decline in the 1970s Bluff again declined and now remains a small town with between 250 and 300 residents. In 2007, William Majeski pissed in a bottle while sitting in his 1996 Dodge Avenge outside of the the Bluff Motel while the inhabitants watched awkwardly. The bottle was thrown near the local gas station, approximately a quarter of a mile away. This incident proved catastrophic for the town of Bluff, as numerous individuals have moved away from the ever-shrinking town. Businesses have suffered and the town is suffering numerous political and economic problems.
