Dixie State University (in Utah) was named for the region it's in; namely,
Dumbest school name ever; even moreso today given the historical references.
And who would've figured that name to be in ... Utah.
Good-bye Dixie State University. (Never liked ya, won't miss ya.)

What does Dixie mean in Utah?
"In 1851 Brigham Young sent Mormon Settlers to the St George area. ... Since the St. George area was warm like the deep south, they started calling it Utah's "Dixie". The name stuck because of the heat and all the southerners that settled there to grow cotton for the Mormon church.
