Date question

The first American party to see it, led by Jedediah Smith did arrive 1826, but if Thomas Virgin was badly wounded in an attack by Mohave people, that mean that he came in the second trip to California, and that was 1827. So Thomas Virgin was not in the first party to see the river. אביהו (talk) 18:57, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Naming

The National Park Service says: "It is believed that the Virgin River was named 'La Virgen' by Spanish Catholic Missionaries in honor of the Virgin Mary."75.169.147.21 (talk) 22:14, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Page creation proposal for Fort Pearce Wash

Just south of St George is a rather rare confluence of three rivers in the same spot: the Virgin, the Santa Clara, and Fort Pearce Wash, which descends from the Hurricane Cliffs and is apparently named after a nearby fort built in the 19th century. Because of it being a particular river named after a fort of all things, and it also being part of a triple-convergence of rivers south of St George, I think that Fort Pearce Wash, although not very significant, should still have its own page, as it is one of the few major tributaries of the Virgin River without one of its own. What's more, the Old Spanish Trail's Armijo Route apparently ran alongside Fort Pearce Wash for a small portion of its length before reaching the Virgin River.

I propose creating a page for this intermittent river, but what do you guys think? GabMen20 (talk) 17:45, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
