+'''Mexican Hat''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) on the [[San Juan River (Colorado River)|San Juan River]] on the northern edge of the [[Navajo Nation]]'s borders in south-central [[San Juan County, Utah|San Juan County]], [[Utah]], United States. The population was 31 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]], a sharp decline from the previous two censuses.
+
+==History==
+The name "Mexican Hat" comes from a curiously [[sombrero]]-shaped rock outcropping on the northeast edge of town; the rock measures {{convert|60|ft|m|sing=on}} wide by {{convert|12|ft|m|sing=on}}. The "Hat" has two [[rock climbing]] routes ascending it. Mexican Hat has frequently been noted on lists of [[Place names considered unusual|unusual place names]].<ref>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=29zh3dIgmv8C&lpg=PP1&pg=PR11#v=onepage&q&f=false| title=Welcome to Horneytown, North Carolina, Population: 15: An insider's guide to 201 of the world's weirdest and wildest places | publisher=Adams Media | author=Parker, Quentin | year=2010 | pages=xi}}</ref>
+
+In 2016, the [[U.S. Route 163#Utah|U.S. Route 163]] bridge crossing the San Juan River on the south border of the town was renamed the "[[Jason R. Workman Memorial Bridge]]" after a member of [[SEAL Team Six]] who was killed in action in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011. Workman was a 1997 graduate of the nearby [[San Juan High School (Utah)|San Juan High School]].<ref name="sjrecord_20160405_bridge" />
