Manti has a rural, small-town feel in Sanpete Valley
Founded in 1849, Manti’s history stems from Latter-day Saints settlers sent by Brigham Young. “Manti is the county seat, so it's got the historic Mormon temple, and a lot of people use that,” says Realtor David Sedlak, who works with Sanpete Valley Realty and has about a decade of experience in the area. The Manti Utah Temple’s dramatic castellated style, influenced by the Gothic Revival style, attracts many visitors to the rural small town. Manti's scenery includes farms and the looming La Sal Mountains, where outdoor activities abound. Home to approximately 3,600, the community’s CAP Index Crime Score is a 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
The Manti Utah Temple is one of the oldest temples in the country.

Only a few miles east of Manti, Manti-La Sal National Forest has canyon and mountain views, plus an array of recreation. “The forest is big down here. A lot of people have side-by-sides or ATVs, so they go up there for camping and fishing and riding around,” Sedlak says.
