Page is a planned community near the Arizona/Utah border. Named for John C. Page, a 1930s commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation, the city was planned and developed for the workers building Glen Canyon Dam in 1957. At an elevation of 4,300 feet atop Manson Mesa, overlooking Wahweap Bay of Lake Powell, Page has become a major resort area and was incorporated in March 1975. Flagstaff is 134 miles south via U.S. 89.

Though it began as a temporary camp for construction workers, Page has emerged as a self-sufficient and progressive city. Lake Powell, the Navajo Generating Station and tourism are the major contributors to the economy.Recreational properties and public utilities are the predominant employers in Page.

North of Page is Glen Canyon Dam, which forms one of the most beautiful lakes in Arizona . Over 1,900 miles of shoreline are formed by this lake, more than the entire West Coast from Canada to Mexico.Rainbow Bridge is reached via boat on Lake Powell.

South of Page is the Navajo Indian Reservation, with Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly and other natural wonders. Historic Lee’s Ferry near Page had an important role in the early exploration of the Colorado River. It is now a point of departure for trips down the Colorado River rapids and has a National Park Service camp-ground available.Page has a variety of events throughout the year including: Easter Egg Hunt, Air Affaire, Cinco De Mayo, Old-Fashioned Fourth of July, Halloween Carnival, and the Festival of Lights.

During 1956, the Bureau of Reclamation received authorization by the United States Congress to build a dam on the Colorado River. The construction workers settled on Manson Mesa. Manson Mesa was part of the Navajo tribal grazing allotment, which belonged to the Mason family. When land was needed for living accommodations, the government made an exchange. The Navajo tribe gave up the approximately 17 square miles of Mason Mesa for other land in southern Utah.

Page was named after the Honorable John Chatfield Page. Page served as commissioner for the Bureau of Reclamation during the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration from 1937 to 1943. Unfortunately, he
died before ever seeing the town.Page soon began to grow with roads and temporary metal structures being established. Twelve churches
popped up along Lake Powell Boulevard, known as 7th Avenue in the early days. Today locals call the road “Church Row”. Schools were set up for the children of the construction workers.

However life in Page during the early years was tough. At the end of each row of houses was a laundromat. Here the wives took turns washing clothes. Workers had to travel across a 700-foot bridge
that stretched out over the Colorado River to do their construction. There were no movies or television and radio reception was poor.
During the summer of 1959, there was a strike. The workers held out until December, when the new contract was finally accepted.

Construction on Glen Canyon Dam lasted until September 1963 but it
wasn’t until 1980 when the water in Lake Powell reached its limit.
Right after the dam was completed, Page fell into a slump. It wasn’t until 1970 when a change began, the Navajo Generating Station was built creating new jobs. It was also during this time, that the Bureau of
Reclamation pulled out of Page and the Coconino County Board of Supervisors established Page as the second largest incorporated town in the county. Page created its government along with police, fire, court and public works.

Today you will find many businesses have moved to Page, along with Coconino Community College. Page continues to grow and prosper.
