37 (D-94)Page, Arizona (population 6794) was created in 1957 to house the workers and their families during the construction of nearby Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. Its 44 km2 site was obtained in a land exchange with the Navajo Indian tribe. The tribe was given land in New Mexico in exchange for this site that would become Page, a city perched atop Manson Mesa (a mountain summit) at an elevation of 1300 m and 180 m above Lake Powell.
Did you know that parts of the 1968 film The Planet of the Apes were shot here around Page?
Why is the city called "Page"?
