Aquarius National Forest was established as the Aquarius Forest Reserve by the United States General Land Office in

Utah on October 24, 1903, with {{convert|639000|acre|km2}}. In 1905 federal forest lands were transferred to the U.S. Forest Service. On March 4, 1907, it became a National Forest, and on July 1, 1908, it was renamed Powell National Forest. The lands are presently included in Dixie National Forest.{{citation|title=National Forests of the United States |url=http://www.foresthistory.org/ASPNET/Places/National%20Forests%20of%20the%20U.S.pdf |format=pdf |date=September 29, 2005 |author=Davis, Richard C. |publisher=The Forest History Society |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121028014355/http://www.foresthistory.org/ASPNET/Places/National%20Forests%20of%20the%20U.S.pdf |archive-date=2012-10-28 }} The forest included the Aquarius Plateau to the southeast of Capitol Reef National Park.
