Pipe Spring was named by the 1858 Latter-day Saint missionary expedition to the Hopi mesas led by Jacob Hamblin. In 1866 the Apache, Navajo and Paiute tribes of the region joined the Utes for the Black Hawk War, and after they raided Pipe Spring a protective fort was constructed over the main spring. The following year the fort and ranch was purchased by Brigham Young for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It also served as a refuge for polygamist wives during the 1880s and 1890s. -from Wikipedia
