Weber County has a fascinating and unique past that sets it apart from other Utah locations.
As early as the fifth century BC, Indians of several different tribes roamed the area. The large population of wildlife that sustained the Indians also attracted the first white men to the valley, the trappers. Miles Goodyear, an early entrepreneur, built the first permanent home in Utah. In 1850, Mormon leader Brigham Young named the city of Ogden after a brigade leader from the Hudson Bay Fur Company, Peter Skene Ogden. The railroad made Ogden a bustling hub of commerce and a melting pot of people of all races and religions.
