How Much Local History Do You Know?

North Ogden’s roots trace back to the pioneering days when cattle ranchers from nearby Ogden, namely the Campbells and the Riddles, first settled the area. Initially cautioned by Brigham Young to stay within the fortifications of Ogden due to potential conflicts with the Shoshone, these early settlers returned and permanently established themselves in the region once relations stabilized. They were soon joined by other families, laying the foundation for the community we know today.

Agriculture played a pivotal role in North Ogden’s development. Initially dominated by sugar beet farming, the local economy shifted towards fruit orchards, particularly cherries, which became the region’s primary agricultural output. The North Ogden Fruit Exchange, the first fruit cooperative in the area, utilized the “Dummy Line” — a rail spur from the Union Pacific Station in Ogden — to transport their produce to broader markets. This agricultural heritage led to the city’s incorporation in 1934, primarily to manage the growing demand for water resources.

Since the end of World War II, North Ogden has evolved from farmland into a burgeoning suburb of Ogden. The transformation was marked by the gradual division of agricultural land into residential properties.

The cherry, a symbol of local pride, plays a central role in North Ogden’s identity. In 1932, civic and church leaders initiated Cherry Days to celebrate and promote the local cherry industry. This annual festival showcases the exceptional size, color, and flavor of the cherries grown here, along with the scenic beauty of North Ogden. Now, nearly ninety years later, Cherry bDays continues to be a beloved community event, reflecting the enduring spirit and heritage of our town.
