How did the Joshua Tree name come about?

The name "Joshua Tree" was given by early Mormon settlers in the 19th century, who were inspired by the tree's unique shape resembling the biblical figure Joshua raising his arms in prayer. The trees, part of the yucca family, are native to the Mojave Desert and were seen as a symbol of hope in the harsh landscape. The name has since become synonymous with the area, especially after the establishment of Joshua Tree National Park in 1996.
