North Ogden at a glance

Weber County · Utah

North Ogden is a Weber County city that dates to 1850, when Jonathan Campbell Jr. and a few others settled the area. Settlers retreated to Lorin Farr Fort in 1851 and returned with more families, and the town was incorporated in 1934. It became a city in 1950 with 1,536 residents and now has about 23,000. North Ogden was among the first Utah cities to appoint a planning commission and adopt a master plan.

The city website archives City Council agenda packets, minutes and recordings from 2023 onward, with a sign-up for agenda alerts. The building department handles permits for new construction, additions, remodels and solar, with an online application portal and a required inspections page. The community pages cover parks, the swimming pool, a library branch and Barker Park. To follow a decision, subscribe to agenda alerts and compare the packet with the minutes once they are posted.

The city's About page says the first settlers in 1850 were Jonathan Campbell Jr. and his nephew Samuel, and John Riddle and his son Isaac. Eighteen more families arrived in 1851 and a civil government was set up. A cricket plague in 1855 destroyed most crops. Home telephone service began in 1905 and electric power reached homes in 1913. The People's Theater at Barker Park stages community productions; its listed 2027 season includes Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors in May, The Importance of Being Earnest in June, a free Missoula Children's Theater camp in June and a summer musical in August, with auditions beginning in January 2027.
