Ogden, Utah Visitors Guide
Ogden, the 4th largest city in Utah, was designed by Brigham Young and has broad, straight streets lined with an assortment of trees. Despite its Mormon influence, it was not a town void of gambling halls and saloons, so there was much friction between the Mormon population and “gentiles”. After the arrival of the railroad, Ogden became one of the few Utah cities whose residents were not primarily Mormon. Today, Ogden is known for its commerce and industry and as a close town to the Hill Air Force Base.
