Moapa Valley consists of the towns of Overton, Logandale, Warm Springs, Moapa and Glendale. Some Mormon pioneers settled an area along the Muddy River at St. Thomas to farm and raise livestock. Additional settlements were St. Joseph (now Logandale), Cabin Ranch (now Warm Springs), Kaolin, Mill Town, Rioville also called Junction City, West Point (now Moapa Indian Reservation), Moapa, Glendale, Arrowhead, Simonsville, and Overton.
