Richfield is the largest city in Sevier County and is home to over 8,200 residents. Its local economy is strengthened by its industries in gypsum and building material production, food processing and manufacturing and livestock. But most notably, the city's wealth of parks, stunning red rock formations and majestic Pahvant Mountains prove why this region of southern-central Utah is affectionately known as Panoramaland. "It's a peaceful and beautiful valley tucked between blue-tinged juniper and sagebrush mountains to the east and red rock mountains to the west. In the fall, the east mountains have radiantly colored aspen and oak trees," says Tiffany Andersen, a librarian at Richfield Public Library. She also speaks fondly of the Richfield community, remarking that while it's small enough to maintain a friendly hometown atmosphere, it also offers plenty of opportunities for recreation, culture and businesses both big and small. "And, of course, the 5-minute commute to work is great," she adds.
