Ogden: The Railroad Town on the Wasatch Front
Ogden grew into a major city because of the transcontinental railroad. When the Union Pacific and Central Pacific met at Promontory Summit on May 10, 1869, the resulting junction town became Ogden, which sits about 50 miles northwest of Promontory. Within a few years, Ogden had established itself as the main railroad crossroads of the Intermountain West, with traffic between Chicago, San Francisco, and Portland routed through its yards. Union Station, built in 1924 in Italian Renaissance style after a fire destroyed the previous structure, remains the architectural centerpiece of 25th Street.
Weber State University, founded in 1889 as the Weber Stake Academy, is the city's largest employer outside of Hill Air Force Base. The university enrolls roughly 30,000 students across undergraduate and graduate programs. Hill AFB, located primarily in Davis County to the south of Ogden, employs around 20,000 people and serves as a major depot for F-35 maintenance.
Historic 25th Street, the corridor running east from Union Station toward Washington Boulevard, carries a reputation rooted in Ogden's railroad-era past when the thoroughfare was known for saloons, gambling halls, and brothels. The street has been restored since the 1990s and now hosts restaurants, breweries, and galleries in its brick commercial buildings.
