History:

The area was originally called El Vadito meaning "little crossing", due to the Little Colorado River that passes through. It was named after Spanish explorers passing by. p> Then in 1873, Solomon Barth stopped at El Vadito. He won several thousand head of sheep and a few thousand dollars from some Mexicans in a card game. Barth used his winnings to establish a business. He used ox-trained drivers to supply hay and grain to Fort Apache. This gave a boost to the settlement. p> There are two stories about how the name San Juan came into existence. The first came from the holiday San Juan's Day, which celebrates the start of the rainy season. The second originated from the first woman resident named Senora Maria San Juan de Padilla de Baca.
During the same time the Hispanic settlement was being built, the Mormon pioneers decided to settle nearby. p> The Mormon's were a bit north of the Hispanic community. However, flooding caused the Mormons to move. They ended up across from the Hispanic settlement. p> In 1880, when the town was officially established the name was changed again, this time to St. Johns. St. Johns was incorporated in 1946.
A very famous Arizonan family started its roots in St. Johns. Both Morris and Stewart Udall were born and raised in St. Johns. Steward was elected to Congress and later President Kennedy appointed him Secretary of the Interior. He was the first Arizonan to hold a cabinet post. Morris followed his brother's footsteps by holding an office in Congress. p> Today St. Johns is the county seat of Apache County. It is also known for its premier Equestrian Center of the White Mountains, where a variety of horse competitions take place.
