It had a population of 262,223 at the 2020 census, an estimated 269,648 by 2024, and covers 576 square miles (1,492 km2) centred near 41\u00b018\u2032N 111\u00b055\u2032W. Locals say the name WEE-ber, after fur trapper John Henry Weber &mdash; not like the grill brand.<\/p>\n<p>Ogden is the county seat and largest city; its postal code is 84401. The county holds 14 cities, 1 incorporated town and 3 unincorporated Ogden Valley communities. Utah abolished civil townships statewide, so local government here starts and stops at the city line, and Weber County runs on Mountain Time. Its FIPS code is 49057.<\/p>\n<h2>Towns &amp; Villages in Weber County<\/h2>\n<p>Weber County has 18 named places on the map: 14 cities, 1 town, 2 census-designated places (CDPs) and 1 unincorporated resort community. CDPs are populated but unincorporated &mdash; the Census Bureau counts them, but they have no city government. Ogden Valley, on the county&#8217;s east side, holds three of these places (Eden, Liberty, Nordic Valley) and is a distinct geographic area from Ogden city itself.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tv-table-scroll\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Place<\/th>\n<th>Type<\/th>\n<th>Pop.<\/th>\n<th>ZIP<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Ogden<\/td>\n<td>City &middot; seat<\/td>\n<td>87,321<\/td>\n<td>84401<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roy<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>39,306<\/td>\n<td>84067<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>North Ogden<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>20,916<\/td>\n<td>84404<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>South Ogden<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>17,488<\/td>\n<td>84403<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>West Haven<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>16,739<\/td>\n<td>84401<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pleasant View<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>11,083<\/td>\n<td>84414<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Riverdale<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>9,343<\/td>\n<td>84405<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Washington Terrace<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>9,267<\/td>\n<td>84405<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hooper<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>9,087<\/td>\n<td>84315<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Plain City<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>7,833<\/td>\n<td>84404<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Farr West<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>7,691<\/td>\n<td>84404<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Harrisville<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>7,036<\/td>\n<td>84404<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Marriott-Slaterville<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>2,135<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Uintah<\/td>\n<td>City<\/td>\n<td>1,454<\/td>\n<td>84403<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Liberty<\/td>\n<td>CDP<\/td>\n<td>1,522<\/td>\n<td>84310<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Huntsville<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>573<\/td>\n<td>84317<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eden<\/td>\n<td>CDP<\/td>\n<td>690<\/td>\n<td>84310<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nordic Valley<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>84310<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Two pairs cause real confusion. North Ogden, South Ogden and Ogden itself are three separate cities, each with its own government and mayor &mdash; none is a neighborhood of another. And Uintah city, a small municipality at the mouth of Weber Canyon, is unrelated to Uintah County, a much larger county in eastern Utah; the name comes from the same Ute band in both cases, which is where the overlap ends. Marriott-Slaterville has no ZIP of its own &mdash; mail addressed there routes through Ogden&#8217;s 84404.<\/p>\n<h2>ZIP Codes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>84401 &mdash; Ogden (downtown core; also serves West Haven)<\/li>\n<li>84403 &mdash; Ogden (also serves South Ogden and part of Uintah)<\/li>\n<li>84404 &mdash; Ogden (also serves North Ogden, Pleasant View, Farr West, Plain City, Harrisville and Marriott-Slaterville)<\/li>\n<li>84405 &mdash; Ogden (also serves Riverdale, Washington Terrace and part of Uintah)<\/li>\n<li>84407, 84408, 84409, 84412, 84415 &mdash; Ogden (carrier-route and PO Box ZIPs, no separate town)<\/li>\n<li>84414 &mdash; Ogden (also serves North Ogden and Pleasant View)<\/li>\n<li>84067 &mdash; Roy<\/li>\n<li>84315 &mdash; Hooper<\/li>\n<li>84310 &mdash; Eden (also serves Liberty and Nordic Valley)<\/li>\n<li>84317 &mdash; Huntsville<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most of Weber County&#8217;s suburban cities share an &#8220;Ogden&#8221; mailing address even though they are independently incorporated &mdash; the ZIP assigns the post office town, not the city limits.<\/p>\n<h2>Geography<\/h2>\n<p>Weber County runs from the Wasatch Range on its east edge down into a finger of the Great Salt Lake on its west edge, including Fremont Island, which sits inside Hooper&#8217;s city limits. The Weber River and Ogden River cross the valley floor; Pineview Reservoir and the smaller Causey Reservoir sit up in Ogden Valley, both built for irrigation and flood control. Willard Peak, at 9,763 feet, is the county&#8217;s highest point. Of the county&#8217;s 576 square miles of land, another 83 square miles is water &mdash; mostly the Great Salt Lake frontage.<\/p>\n<p>Weber County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/box-elder-county\/\">Box Elder County<\/a> to the northwest, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/cache-county\/\">Cache County<\/a> to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/rich-county\/\">Rich County<\/a> to the northeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/morgan-county-utah\/\">Morgan County<\/a> to the southeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/davis-county-utah\/\">Davis County<\/a> to the south, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/tooele-county\/\">Tooele County<\/a> to the southwest across the lake.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Weber County had 262,223 residents at the 2020 census, Utah&#8217;s fourth-most populous county, and an estimated 269,648 by 2024. Ogden and Roy are the two largest communities, together holding roughly half the county&#8217;s population. Median household income was $90,005 in 2024, close to but below Utah&#8217;s statewide $93,400 (2023). Density works out to 429.1 people per square mile of land, though that figure is skewed high by Ogden&#8217;s urban core against Ogden Valley&#8217;s rural east side.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Manufacturing is the county&#8217;s largest employment sector at 19,085 workers, followed by health care and social assistance at 15,928 and retail trade at 14,538. The IRS operates a major regional processing center in Ogden with more than 5,000 employees, its largest single employer. McKay-Dee Hospital, also in Ogden, anchors regional health care. Weber State University, based in Ogden, is the county&#8217;s biggest educational institution and employer. Hill Air Force Base, just south in Davis County, draws commuters from Roy, Riverdale and Washington Terrace and ranks among Utah&#8217;s largest employers statewide. Hooper&#8217;s Tomato Days runs the last week of August into Labor Day weekend and is the county&#8217;s best-known local festival.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Fur trapper John Henry Weber gave his name to the Weber River during an 1825&ndash;26 winter camp with the Ashley fur company, and the county later took the river&#8217;s name. Miles Goodyear built a trading post on the river in 1845, sold it to Mormon settlers in 1847, and James Brown renamed the site Brownsville &mdash; later Ogden. Weber County was created January 31, 1850, and organized March 3, 1852, one of Utah Territory&#8217;s original counties.<\/p>\n<p>Ogden became a railroad town after the 1869 completion of the transcontinental railroad at nearby Promontory Summit. Three towns competed to host the Union Pacific-Central Pacific junction &mdash; Corinne, Uintah and Ogden. Church president Brigham Young helped secure land for the railroads on the condition they build in west Ogden, and by the 1920s Ogden&#8217;s Union Station handled more than 60 passenger trains a day, earning the city its &#8220;Crossroads of the West&#8221; nickname. Passenger rail through the station ended with Amtrak&#8217;s last Pioneer train in 1997; the building is now a railroad and heritage museum.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 15 and Interstate 84 both cross Weber County, meeting near Riverdale; US Route 89 runs through Ogden Valley to the east.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Salt Lake City &mdash; 40 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Logan &mdash; 40 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Park City &mdash; 50 miles southeast<\/li>\n<li>Provo &mdash; 75 miles south<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ogden-Hinckley Airport, in Ogden, handles general aviation; the nearest major commercial airport is Salt Lake City International, about 40 miles south. The nearest active Amtrak station is also in Salt Lake City, on the California Zephyr line, roughly 37 miles south &mdash; Ogden&#8217;s own Union Station has not had scheduled passenger service since 1997.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Weber County?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is in northern Utah, along the Wasatch Front about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City, stretching from the Wasatch Range east to the Great Salt Lake west.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Weber County&#8217;s population?<\/strong><br \/>\n262,223 at the 2020 census, an estimated 269,648 by 2024, making it Utah&#8217;s fourth-most populous county.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Weber County?<\/strong><br \/>\n576 square miles of land plus 83 square miles of water, for 659 square miles total.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Weber County?<\/strong><br \/>\nOgden, the county&#8217;s largest city with 87,321 residents in 2020 and home to Weber State University.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns and cities are in Weber County?<\/strong><br \/>\n14 cities and 1 town, plus 2 census-designated places and 1 unincorporated community in Ogden Valley &mdash; 18 named places in all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Weber County?<\/strong><br \/>\nRoy, Hooper, Eden and Huntsville each have their own ZIP; every other city shares one of several Ogden ZIP codes (84401&ndash;84415 range) regardless of which city actually governs the address.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you pronounce &#8220;Weber&#8221;?<\/strong><br \/>\nWEE-ber, after fur trapper John Henry Weber &mdash; not &#8220;Weber&#8221; as in the grill brand.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/utah\/\">Towns and villages in Utah<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weber County is a county in Utah, United States, about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City along the Wasatch Front.
