St. Johns
St. Johns is a community of 3,300 people in eastern Arizona, 18 miles west
of the New Mexico border, 29 miles north of Springerville and 50 miles
south of Interstate 40. Its elevation is 5,730 feet. Originally named El
Vadito ("little river crossing") by Spanish explorers, St. Johns was a
thriving Spanish-American community in 1873 when Solomon Barth acquired
land and cattle and settled in St. Johns in 1879. The name El Vadito was
changed to San Juan (Spanish for St. John) and to St. Johns when the town
was established in 1880. St. Johns incorporated in 1946.
The shortest and most scenic route from Phoenix to Albuquerque is through
St. Johns, which is surrounded by tourist and visitor destinations. Within
an hour's drive are the Apache, Zuni and Navajo reservations,
archeological sites, the Petrified Forest National Park and recreation
activities at Lyman Lake State Park including boating, water skiing,
fishing and camping. Less than an hour's drive south of St. Johns is the
