Previously known as Potato and also Spud Valley, Escalante is in Garfield County, Utah. It is named after Silvestre Velez de Escalante, a missionary and the first European explorer in the general area although he never came to this valley.
The first white people here were a group of Mormon cavalry during the Black Hawk Indian War of the mid-1860s.
