They found and farmed it, outside of Native Americans who had their own name for it.

Actually, when it was first made a national monument, the US Government called it by it's Indian name, Mukuntuweap National Park.

The Government later changed it to Zion National Park.

Perfect name, it's a biblical word meaning a place of peace and refuge or sanctuary.

Would you rather it be Mukuntuweap?
