Last reviewed 3 October 2026 · A two-minute read · 1896–now
The short answer

A house built in 2021 stands at 1834 W 150 S in Hurricane, Utah, on a 0.14-acre lot within the Point Break subdivision. The ground was open desert until developers platted it and builders raised the 1,854-square-foot residence that year. Hurricane itself was founded in 1896, after settlers completed a canal allowing farming along the Virgin River.

2021 to now

Open desert on Hurricane's edge becomes a house lot

You're standing on 150 South in Hurricane, Utah, in a small subdivision called Point Break. The house on this lot went up in 2021, one of many new homes filling in this stretch of ground on the edge of town. Hurricane itself dates back to 1896, when settlers in this part of Washington County gave it that name. The ground under your feet was open desert for most of that time, long before any street or house reached this corner.

2021

Builders raise a house on a lot called Point Break

The county's own records fill in the rest of what you can see. This lot, part of a plat called Point Break, sits at 1834 W 150 S. Builders put up the house that same year, 2021: 1,854 square feet on a 0.14-acre parcel, classed simply as residential. The developer who laid out Point Break carved this corner out of raw desert ground and sold it as one lot among many in the subdivision. From there it passed into private hands, a single household buying the finished house rather than the empty lot. Before 2021, this patch of ground had no address at all.

The house in front of you is one of the newest things on this stretch of 150 South, standing where open desert ran right up to Hurricane's edge until 2021.
