Kanarra , later renamed Kanarraville , on Kanarra Creek , was first settled in 1861 and 1862 . It was named for Piute Chief Canarrah or Quanarrah , but settlers spelled it Kanarrah or Kanarra . Its settlers were families driven from Fort Harmony when the fort had to be abandoned after most of its adobe walls were washed away during a month of heavy rains in January and February , during the Great Flood of 1862 . New Harmony in Washington County was the other settlement created by refugees from this disaster
