North Ogden, Weber County, Utah Genealogy

United States Utah  Weber County North Ogden

Quick Facts
Located at the base of Mt. Ben Lomond, North Ogden was originally called “Ogden Hole”. In 1850, Jonathon Campbell, and his brother, Samuel, were the first to try and establish a white settlement at the Ogden Hole, but the Natives Americans ran them out. On March 4, 1851 they returned with a company of ten families and claimed it from the Natives. Eventually the conflict with the Indians ended when the settlers fed them instead of fighting with them. The earliest settlers lived in log homes and dugouts.

In a meeting held on April 12, 1852 the Court appointed Jonathan Campbell as “Supervisor of the Ogden Hole.” The early town records were burned in a Utah Loan and Trust Company Fire. Early records were preserved in a diary by the local bishop, Henry Holmes.

The town’s population was 600 when it was incorporated in February 1, 1934.
