In the early 1800s, Native Americans met trappers in the scenic Ogden Valley. Named for famed explorer Peter Skeen Ogden, the area attracted traders of all varieties. Miles Goodyear, responsible for the first white settlement in Utah, established a trading post and meeting site for weary pioneers. The roaring 20s brought excitement to Historic 25th St., where, according to legend, Al Capone met his match, declaring Ogden too wild for his taste. Prizefighter Jack Dempsey met many takers on his way to boxing fame.
