The city of Ogden in Weber County in the US state of Utah is framed by the Wasatch Range in the east and the Weber and Ogden rivers about 10 miles east of the Great Salt Lake and 40 miles north of Salt Lake City . The County Seat Ogden has approximately 87,000 inhabitants, is the largest city in Weber County, Utah's seventh and the 397th in the United States . The city was named after the Canadian trapper Peter Skene Ogden . From 1870 to 1997 the Ogden Union Station was a central transfer station of theFirst Transcontinental Railroad in the western United States.

Two large ski areas, Snowbasin and Powder Mountain in the Wasatch Mountains, make the city, which hosted the alpine skiing speed (downhill, super-G) and curling competitions of the 2002 Winter Olympics , a popular and diverse winter sports resort Sports opportunities in summer, such as extensive running and hiking trails, mountain bike routes and numerous climbing , bouldering and ice climbing routes , make it a center for outdoor activities.

Ogden is known for its many historic buildings, especially Historic 25th Street , which are used as backgrounds for numerous films and series, but also as the northernmost city on the Wasatch Front and as the location of Weber State University .

geography

Geographical location

Ogden, Utah

The location of Ogden in the United States

Ogden is roughly on the same latitude as Benevento in Campania in southern Italy . According to the United States Census Bureau , the city has an area of ​​70.2 km² (27.1  square miles ). The city's altitude ranges from approximately 1300 to 1600 m above sea level .

The Ogden and Weber rivers , which originate in the mountains to the east, flow through the city and meet at a confluence west of the city limits. The Pineview Dam is located in the Ogden River Canyon 11 km east of Ogden. The reservoir behind the dam offers over 140 billion m³ (110,000 hectares) of water storage and serves as a recreational area.

The highest neighboring mountain peaks are Mount Ogden (2920 m) in the east and Ben Lomond (2961 m) in the north.

City structure and neighboring communities

Ogden and the surrounding area

The city is - like many others in the USA - characterized by a spacious, network-like floor plan with many blocks. The streets are numbered from north to south, which is expressed in the corresponding street names. As in Salt Lake City, the count begins at the center of the LDS Church. The relative reference to the central point is made clearer by expanding the number to include directions ("E" for east and "W" for west). In the center of the city, the blocks from Union Station along 25th Street, are the west-to-east cross streets for former US presidents such as Lincoln Avenue , Grant Avenue , Washington Boulevard ,Adam Avenue , Jefferson Avenue or Madison Avenue . The central connecting road in north-south orientation is Harrison Boulevard . The urban area is divided into six districts: in the north North End , including West Ogden , Downtown and East Central , in the east including East Bench and Shadow Valley .

From south to west to north the following places form the neighboring communities of Ogden: South Ogden, Roy, West Haven, Marriott-Slaterville, Farr West, Pleasant View and North Ogden.

geology

In the early Mesozoic Era, the Thaynes limestone formed a final marine deposit during the Triassic period before the region was raised. The early Triassic Moenkopi Formation is a sandstone with thin limestone layers that expand when the sea stretches over mud flats . The thickest sediments of the Jura are east of Ogden in the so-called Devil's Slide and Marysvale . In the Young Pleistocene , the urban area of ​​Ogdens was below the waterline of Lake Bonneville, which reached its greatest size around 16,000 years ago with 52,000 km². When the natural dam on this lake broke 14,500 years ago, it triggered the Bonneville Flood , which flooded large parts of the northwestern area of ​​what is now the United States. Today's water table in Ogden is determined by the Pineview Dam, which in turn is filled by the inflow from 146 springs in the Ogden Valley.

climate

Depending on the variant of the Köppen climate classification , there is either a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) or a humid continental climate (Dfa) of the dry middle latitudes in Ogden. While the summer and winter are very pronounced, spring and autumn hardly come into their own. The summers are hot and relatively dry, with the maximum values ​​often being 35 ° C, and even 38 ° C on some days of the year. Rain is generated in the form of rare thunderstorms in summer, mostly between mid-July and mid-September during the high season of the monsoons. The Pacific storm season typically lasts from around October to May, with rainfall peaking in spring. Snow usually doesn't appear until late October or early November, with the last snow falling sometime in April. Winters are cool and snowy, with highs averaging 3 ° C in January. The average annual temperature in the city is between 5.2 and 17.5 ° C.Cologne : 798 millimeters), it is higher than the evaporation, which is why a humid climate prevails. The snowfall averages around 100 cm. The warmest months are July and August with an average of 33 and 31.8 ° C, the coldest months are December and January with −5.1 and −5.9 ° C, respectively. Most of the precipitation falls in May and August with an average of 66 millimeters each, the lowest in July with an average of 21 millimeters. The extreme thermal range extends from −27 ° C on January 26, 1949, to 41 ° C on July 14, 2002.

Animals on the Bonneville Trail in Ogden

Grasshopper, 2019

Praying Mantis, 2019

Wasps, 2019

Deer, 2019

Beavers living in the Ogden and Logan Ranger Districts are so numerous that they are forcing beaver management. In the urban space a few mammal species that move relatively freely between the extensive gardens as live deer of mule deer . The low shrub vegetation of the Wasatch chain is used as a habitat by praying mantis ( Mantodea ), wasps , grasshoppers and numerous dragonflies . Rattlesnakes can only be seen at higher altitudes and in great heat, as can tarantulas . In contrast, the territorial defenders step very numerousAmerican squirrels as well as the chipmunks . The not-for-profit Wildlife Rehabilitation Center Northern Utah , based in Ogden, opened in 2009 and is dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of wild animals (2019: 23,810). Over 100 different native wild animal species are successfully released back into the wild every month. In 2018 there were over 2,513 birds and small mammals.

On the opposite Antelope Island there are some larger herbivorous mammal populations, such as over 500 bison , 250 mule deer, 200 California bighorn sheep or pronghorn antelopes , but also predators such as coyotes , lynx and eagles.

Mugwort is widespread on the ridges of the Wasatch range , as it is in large parts of the Great Basin . Since they require little water and there is a lot of sun available, sunflowers are also widespread.

history

Before the city was founded

The oldest traces of human settlement in Utah were discovered in 2016 when a 12,300-year-old fireplace and settlement findings were uncovered on the test site of the Hill Airbase in southern Ogden.

Traces of the representatives of the Fremont culture could also be found in Ogden. The Fremont culture, which takes its name from the Fremont River in Utah, was characterized by similarities in terms of corn cultivation, adobe architecture, pit houses and ceramics. At the end of the 14th century, the Fremont culture fell into crisis due to climatic geographic reasons and was replaced by Nun groups, ancestors of the Shoshone and Comanche from the Great Basin .

Originally called Fort Buenaventura , Ogden was the first permanent settlement of people of European descent in what is now Utah. It was founded in 1846 by the trapper Miles Goodyear and was located about two kilometers west of what is now downtown. In November 1847, Captain James Brown bought the fort and the surrounding land of what is now Weber County, along with some farm animals, for $ 3,000. The settlement around Fort Buenaventura was then renamed Brownsville . In 1850 Chief Terrikee , the Indian leader in the Weber area, was killed by an urban stewart , which led to Indian riots.

1848 sent Governor of Utah Territory Brigham Young the missionary Lorin Farr from Salt Lake City northward to colonize the Weber County it. Farr became first mayor with the founding of Ogden City on February 6, 1851 and remained so for 20 years. The first mention of an executive in Ogden was the appointment of BW Nolan as City Marshal in 1851. In 1853, a so-called Spanish Wall was built around the city. According to the US Census Lists, there were approximately 150 families in Ogden in 1854. The sheriff of Weber Conty also had his headquarters in Ogden, which together with theCity Marshal worked closely with the city and regional courts.

Beus Park to the South, 2019

The first known residents include Michael Beus (1811–1888) and his wife Marianne Beus (1813–1910), who arrived in Ogden on September 26, 1856 after a 2,100 km (1,300 mile) tour. They settled in the area of ​​today's Beus Park and the Dee Event Center and built the dam, which still exists today, at the Beus Park pool. The Beus Canyon , through which they descended into the Great Lake Plain, is named after them. The family planted mulberry trees to feed the mulberry moth. A first road was built through Ogden Canyon in 1860.

The first train station in Ogden was a small, two-story building on the banks of the Weber River, built in 1860. The facility quickly became inadequate, so the Union Pacific Railroad and Central Pacific Railroad jointly built a much larger brick Union Station and central clock tower in 1889. In 1866 the telegraph line was openedextended from Salt Lake City to Ogden. The Grand Station was inaugurated on December 31, 1889 and comprised 33 hotel rooms, a restaurant and a hairdressing salon. On February 13, 1923, a fire broke out in one of the hotel rooms and quickly spread to the train station. Nobody was injured or killed, but the buildings had to be completely renovated. John and Donald Parkinson, managing directors of an architectural firm in Los Angeles, designed the new building. On April 8, 1924, the last old wall fell, revealing an intact, copper box with historical materials from the 1880s. The great hall was completed in 1924. In the 1960s, due to the increasing use of automobiles, motorways and air traffic, passenger traffic by rail decreased nationwide and also in Ogden.

Browning Gun Shop in Ogden, 1882

The Hayden expedition , the aim of which was to explore the western United States, started on June 11, 1871 in Ogden with 34 men and 7 wagons heading north. Under the direction of the geologist Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden , it led to the area of ​​what is now Yellowstone National Park . Two years later, in 1873, the US Geological Survey conducted surveys in Ogden. The camp used for this was documented by the photographer William Henry Jackson (1843–1942).

In the spring of 1878, John Moses Browning began work on his first single-shot rifle in his father's gun shop in Ogden . The patent application for the single-loader rifle was registered on May 12th, and on October 7th, 1879 it was granted as US Patent 220271. The installation of a telephone system also began in 1878.

Eighteenth President Ulysses S. Grant went to Salt Lake City on October 3, 1875, as the first president to visit the state of Utah . He met with the chairman of LDS Church Brigham Young on the train on the route from Ogden. On his second visit in 1879, the President also made a short stopover in the city. His successor, the 19th President Rutherford B. Hayes , made a stop in Ogden during his visit to Utah on September 5, 1880, and then met with LDS Church Chairman John Taylor on his onward journey from Ogden to Salt Lake City. Hayes was accompanied by General William T. Sherman .

The first town hall building was completed in 1888. The main streets in Ogden were initially named after important figures in the LDS Church. Under the first non-Mormon mayor, Fred J. Kiesel (1889-1891), the streets in Ogden's interior were renamed on April 5, 1889. The streets running in north-south direction were named after American presidents, the streets in west-east direction had already been numbered, but the original count was changed to include the city extensions. The former First Street became 21st Street . One of the few streets that was not renamed was Wall Avenue, along which a so-called "Spanish Wall" was erected in 1855, eight feet tall between 21st Street and 28th Street . The first street to be paved was 25th Street between Washington Avenue and Wall Avenue in 1893 at a cost of $ 100,000.

On December 29, 1890, the Orpheum Theater opened on Washington Avenue with a seating capacity of 1,750. Performing artists included the Marx Brothers , Jenny Lind and Burns and Allen . Due to various changes of ownership and renovations in 1925 and 1928, the number of seats was reduced to 1152 in 1940 and 1037 in 1950. In the 1940s, theater was replaced by a cinema. In 1954, the building was further modernized and featured a striking Turkish minaret architecture. The cinema was closed in 1982, the building was demolished in 1983 in order to provide parking spaces for the nearby Bigelow-Ben Lomond Hotel.

Between prostitution and prohibition (1900–1950)

Depot in Ogden, 1910

By 1900 Ogden was a major industrial center that attracted established business people from around the world. This resulted in Ogden having more millionaires per capita during its heyday than any other city in the United States. Ogden grew by leaps and bounds. Shops, cafes, mills, salons, and hotels were built along the Mormon blocks laid out by Brigham Young. The visits of the presidents in particular often led to economic and structural developments in the city. However, the 25th President William McKinley stayed in Ogden for only about 20 minutes at midnight on May 26, 1901. The visit planned for the day was not possible because his wife fell ill and they returned home early.

Along with the economic development, commercial prostitution flourished in Ogden. This was based on Odgen's long-term function as a national railway junction and was embodied in the personality of Dora B. Topham , who, as "Madame Belle London", headed an organized prostitution ring in the city. In early 1900, Belle London organized prostitution in what is now historic 25th Street near the central railway depot and used the London Ice Cream Salonas a facade for one of their brothels. In Ogden, she had 100 small chambers built in a so-called “stockade” that prostitutes had to rent for one to four dollars a day. Less than three years later, the “Stockade” was closed and demolished because Dora B. Topham had been sentenced to 18 years in prison for employing a 16-year-old. When the conviction was later overturned, she moved to California with her two daughters , where she died a few years later.

The motorcycle pioneer George A. Wyman (1877-1959), who from May 16 to July 6, 1903 was the first to successfully carry out a transcontinental crossing of the United States from New York City to San Francisco , reached Ogden on May 28, where he was im LH Becraft's bicycle shop at the time carried out repairs on his motorized bicycle.

When a fire broke out in the Eccles Building on the night of November 15, 1911, the subsequent major fire in the city center caused $ 750,000 in damage.

On March 17, 1915, the 2,200-seat Alhambra Theater opened with a concert by the Ogden Tabernacle Choir ; the first silent film shown was Charlie Chaplin's "The Champion". On May 3, 1916, Jack Dempsey won a boxing match held in the theater against Terry Kellar in ten rounds. In 1923, AL Glasmann, the operator of the nearby Orpheum Theater, bought the Alhambra Theater. In 1934 it became the property of the Paramor Theaters, which also included the Orpheum Theater , the Lyceum Theater and the Colonial Theateroperated. Repeated conversions took place under different owners. Before 1971 the theater was demolished; the location is now used as a parking lot behind the magnificently restored Peery's Egyptian Theater .

Personal dialogue was important for the relationship between the American presidents and the LDS Church. This was mostly held during the presidents' train journeys on the route between Ogden and Salt Lake City. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson, 28th President, visited Ogden on a stopover on September 23. Four years later, in 1923, President Warren G. Harding, 29th President, made stops in Ogden and Salt Lake City on his way through Utah to meet LDS Church Chairman Heber J. Grant .

In 1924, Marriner S. Eccles (1890-1970) founded the Eccles-Browning Affiliated Banks in Ogden with his brother George and members of the Browning banking family , which was expanded by acquiring additional banks in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. The administration of the banks was taken over by the holding company First Security Corporation , which Eccles co-founded in 1928 and of which he was president. Eccles' banks survived the global economic crisis that began in 1929 with practically no damage.

View of the Pineview Dam, 1987

The importance of Ogden as a railroad hub was also evident during Prohibition in the United States when many illegal breweries and distilleries operated in the city. The extent to which the American presidents intervened in Ogden's regional politics becomes clear from the visit of the 32nd President Franklin D. Roosevelt , who visited Utah twice during his presidency. In September 1935 he gave a 25-minute speech from the rear of the train, which was at Union Station in Ogden. The talks between the city leaders and the president went so well that that same year, on November 16, he approved the Ogden River project for the construction of Pineview Dam . This was completed in 1937.

Due to the Second World War , the railway network was again used more, which led to a revival of Ogden. During the hustle and bustle of World War II, more than 100 passenger trains passed Ogden every day.

During the World War in the 1940s, almost 400,000 Germans and Italians were interned as prisoners of war in the USA . Of these, over 8,000 were housed in more than ten camps between Logan and Salina in the state of Utah . The largest of these camps was Camp Ogden , on the area of ​​the Defense Depot Ogden , founded in 1941 and now part of the Ogden Business Depot . Later, the George E. Wahlen Ogden Veterans Home was built on the land on which the POW camp was located. Some of the prisoners became US citizens after the war.

In the Bagley railway accident , in which two trains collided about 17 miles west of Ogden at the Bagley site on December 31, 1944, 50 people died and 79 were injured. In 1951, 17 passengers and 159 were injured on the border between Wyoming and Utah in a serious rear-end collision between two streamlined trains that started in Ogden in quick succession.

Between segregation and stagnation (1950–1990)

During the Korean War , the number of civilian workers at the Ogden Air Logistics Complex grew from 3,656 (June 1950) to 12,210 (August 1952). From only 150,000 million tons of material handled in 1949, the value increased to around 2.15 million tons annually in 1951, 1952 and 1953. With the decline in rail transport from the end of the 1950s, the city fell into one A period of decline that lasted until the early 1990s. In 1954, real estate agents failed when attempting to create skin-colored neighborhoods in Salt Lake and Ogden. Although the Business Depot OgdenOperated from 1941 to 1997, it was not powerful enough to halt the decline. Rail passenger transport disappeared more and more, with the exception of the Amtrak train company , which ran through Ogden three times a week between 1971 and 1983. In particular, the increasing transport of mail by air accelerated the decline in freight transport by rail. Added to this was the freight transport shifted to the road as a result of the increasing expansion of the interstates since the 1950s . It is true that some government agencies and companies involved in the defense industry continued to move to Ogden - including the Internal Revenue Regional Center , Marquardt Corporation , Boeing Corporation, Volvo-White Truck Corporation , Morton-Thiokol, as well as other smaller businesses and some managing directors made significant efforts to bring more private business to the region and become independent from government industry, but this was not enough to end rail transport balance. During the Vietnam War, died especially during the 1960s, 30 native of Ogden US soldiers. The statements of five survivors of the Vietnam War were later documented by the University of Utah .

With the Railroad Off the Road in 1972, Latter-day Saints of Jesus Christ stepped up its initiatives in Ogden with the construction and dedication of the Ogden Utah Temple, a hundred years after the railroad was dedicated . Officially on the grounds that it was intended to remedy the congestion in the temples in Salt Lake City and Provo .

The low point of the economically difficult phase were the so-called hi-fi murders of Ogden , which made the city into (inter) national headlines in 1974: In a brutal attack, five people were taken hostage and forced to drink liquid drain cleaner . Three people died and two survived with irreparable damage.

To counter the decline in consumption in downtown Ogden, the Ogden City Mall was opened in 1980 , the main stores of which were JC Penney, Nordstrom, Bon Marché and Zion Cooperative Mercantile Institution (ZCMI). In 1987, singer Tiffany filmed her music video for I Think We're Alone Now at the Ogden City Mall. The two-story mall was very popular until the 1990s, but after losing such important stores as “Nordstrom” or “Weinstock's” it went downhill so quickly that it was demolished in 2003. In their place, the 8.1 hectare entertainment complex The Junction was built, in which there is a megaplex 13 theaters and opportunities forIndoor skydiving or indoor surfing . In the early 1980s, inexpensive ultralight aircraft were produced in Ogden under the direction of the pilot John Chotia. On September 10, 1982, President Ronald Reagan visited the Ogden Deseret Cannery and Bishop's storehouse in Ogden.

Renewal after 1990

Since Weber State University received full state university status and its current name on January 1, 1991, it has grown to become one of the premier universities in Utah, attracting students from across the US and 60 additional countries.

It was only through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce and various business organizations that Ogden again attracted a large number of industrial and trading companies to its industrial park and shopping centers at the beginning of the 1990s.

In 2011, the state of Utah elevated the Browning M1911, developed by John M. Browning in Ogden, to an official symbol of the state.

The historical importance of Ogden for the American presidents was on the one hand its function as a transport hub, on the other hand the federal property in Ogden, on which state logistic facilities such as the Ogden Defense Depot or the Ogden Air Logistics Complex (on the site of the Hill Air Force Base ) were established and through which logistical operations were carried out in the event of war (World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War). On April 2-3, 2015, President Barack Obama made a stop aboard Air Force One at Hill Air Force Basein Ogden. The president arrived there on April 2nd and announced measures for renewable energies in a speech. The longest government shutdown in American history in January 2019 affected 5,000 administrative employees in Ogden, mainly from the tax office and the forestry department . From May 9 to 12, 2019, the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike was celebrated by almost 100,000 visitors in Ogden.

Population development

The number of inhabitants was 87,325 in 2018. The number of residents had increased continuously in the first hundred years and reached a peak in 1960, but due to the economic decline it fell until 1990. Since then, however, the number has increased again, especially due to the influx of Spanish-speaking immigrants.

Religions and worldviews

LDS Temple in Ogden, 2018

Between 73 and 78 percent of the inhabitants of Ogden profess a Christian denomination, four percent state a non-Christian religion, of which around one percent each is Judaism , Islam , Buddhism and Hinduism . Between 55 and 62 percent of the population belong to the Mormons ( Latter-day Saints , LDS ). The numerous evangelical free churches include around seven percent of the residents of Ogden, and the various mainline Protestant churches around six percent. The Roman Catholic Church of Ogdens owns between five and 8.7 percent of the population; they form the second largest group after the Mormons. TheJehovah's Witnesses and the Orthodox Churches each make up less than one percent.

Christian creeds

Compared to Salt Lake City and other regions in Utah, Mormons are not as common in Ogden. The number of believers attributed to the temple in Ogden is given as 135,000. The temple of Latter-day Saints of Jesus Christ, completed in 1972, is the fourteenth of its kind. It was originally built with a modern design very similar to the Provo temple, but a renovation completed in 2014 brought the exterior and Inside changed extensively.

There are four Roman Catholic parishes in Ogden that are part of the Diocese of Salt Lake City . St. Joseph's Catholic Church was consecrated in 1899, St. James the Just Catholic Church in 1966 and the congregation of the Holy Family Catholic Church in 1979 (today's church building consecrated in 2008). Catholic services are also organized by the Weber State University Newman Center . The Trappist Abbey of Huntsville was located east of Ogden at an altitude of over 2000 m from 1947 to 2017 .

There are over 51 individual Christian parishes and churches in Ogden.

Judaism

The Jewish community Brith Sholem ("Bund des Friedens") comprised around 45 households in 2019. Jews, mostly of German origin, left Salt Lake City in the direction of Corinne and reached Ogden as a result of the Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution's movement . A group began to meet at Benjamin Oppman's clothing store on 25th Street . The many Jewish residents of 25th Streetearned her the nickname "Little Jerusalem". They began dating in 1890 under the name "Ohab Sholem," which makes them the oldest continuous Jewish community in Utah. During this time the congregation was so orthodox that they planned to build separate prayer rooms for the women. In 1916 it was renamed Brith Sholem . Later the orientation changed towards Reform Judaism. One of the most prominent Jews was Fred Kiesel , a merchant born in Württemberg who was elected mayor of Ogden in 1889. Ogden was also the home of Ad and Abraham Kuhn, the cousins ​​of Abraham Kuhn, who ran the investment bank in New York City with Salomon Loeb in 1867Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had founded. The interior of the synagogue, inaugurated on Grant Avenue in 1921 in the presence of around 1,000 people, was destroyed in a fire on December 30, 1989, caused by an arson attack. Today about half of the families are interfaith. The small congregation does not have a full-time rabbi, but has theology students flown in from Los Angeles once a month .

politics

Municipal council

Ogden is governed by a council of mayors, in which the full-time mayor acts as the executive and the seven-member part-time council as the legislature. All elected officers have a four-year term, with elections taking place in odd years and terms beginning in January of the even years.

The Ogden City government had a budget of $ 190 million a year in 2019 and employed nearly 600 full-time employees. In addition to providing the usual municipal services, the government promotes economic and economic development. The city operates a redevelopment agency, RDA), with the city council acting as the RDA board and the mayor as managing director. The RDA's operations have multiplied since its inception in 1969, with tax revenues of about $ 10 million a year and over $ 50 million in debt outstanding. The designated redevelopment areas now include almost all of Ogden's central business districts, as well as the Ogden Business Depot and several other industrial areas in the west of the city.

Culture and sights

Historic 25th Street

Historic 25th Street, facing west, 2019

The Historic 25th Street is a historic district in Ogden, whose western part of the National Register of Historic Places is registered. The neighborhood is three blocks on 25th Street, starting with Wall Avenue at the west end and ending with Washington Avenue to the east, crossing Lincoln and Grant Avenues. The story of the street begins with the opening of Union Stationat the west end of the street, during the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. In the early 20th century it was an active center with retail stores, restaurants, eateries, hotels and laundries. The street was also a place for illegal activities such as gambling, prostitution and drug sales. Popularly known as Two-Bit Street , the street received such a shabby reputation that even Al Capone is said to have said that Ogden was too wild a town for him. Another legend tells of a system of underground tunnels created by smugglers during Prohibition that ran from Union Station to the Bigelow-Ben Lomond Hotel at the eastern end of the district. Today offers theHistoric 25th Street restaurants, art galleries, retail stores, and outdoor events such as auto shows. There is a weekly farmers market every Saturday morning (9 am–2pm) between late June and mid-September. Washington Boulevard between 20th and 26th Streets, including the intersection with 25th Street, is popularly known as The 'Vard and, together with 25th Street, forms the heart of Downtown Ogden. Regional development plans that provide for traffic calming and extensive use by pedestrians have only been implemented on days with events.

  Ogden Union Station, 2018

The Ogden Union Station is a railway station in Ogden, of the western end of Historic 25th Street . The name of the former junction of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads reflects the common designation of train stations whose tracks and facilities are shared by the railway companies. Today the building is no longer used as a railway hub, but as the cultural center of the city. It is home to the Utah State Railroad Museum , the Spencer S. Eccles Rail Center , the John M. Browning Firearms Museum , the Utah Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, and the Browning-Kimball Classic Car Museum. An art gallery shows works by local and regional artists that change every month. The Myra Powell Gallery features traveling exhibits and the station's permanent art collection. The Union Station Research Library has an extensive collection of historical photos and documents from Ogden that are available to the public.

The establishment of the Utah State Railroad Museum was first planned during the centenary of the Golden Spike in 1969. But it wasn't until 1971, when Amtrak took over passenger services via Ogden, that the implementation of the plans began. The station building was handed over to the city of Ogden in 1977 for a period of 50 years. At the 1978 inauguration ceremony, the Union Pacific drove its famous UP 8444 (No. 844) at the head of a passenger train from Cheyenne, Wyomingto the new museum. They also donated a steam ram and a steam paddle snow plow (built by ALCO in 1912). These are among the last steam-powered devices to be used in the Union Pacific system. In 1988, the State of Utah turned Union Station into the Utah State Railroad Museum . This has resulted in a number of donations from the Union Pacific over the years, including a UP 6916, a DD40AX "Centennial" (one of the largest locomotives ever built) and a D&RGW 5371, the only SD40-T2 tunnel engine in its original western livery from Denver & Rio Grande. The railway equipment was brought in from other places, such as B. UP class FEF No. 833and a class FEF-2 steam locomotive. The Ogden collection also includes a 4-8-4 locomotive.

The Utah Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum is dedicated to those whose lives exemplify the independence, resilience and creativity of colonizing Utah and includes a Utah Cowboy Hall of Fame . A research center and library are connected to the museum.

The John M. Browning Firearms Museum displays original models of firearms designed by John M. Browning . These include rifles, shotguns, pistols, machine guns, and cannons. The basic mechanisms of many modern firearms were first developed by him. Browning's designs were the basis for many of the models made by Winchester , Colt , Remington, Stevens and Fabrique National (FN) of Belgium . A total of four generations of Brownings are represented in the museum.

Other museums in Ogden include the Spencer S. Eccles Rail Center and the Browning-Kimball Classic Car Museum .

Music and cinemas

Concert in the amphitheater behind the town hall, 2019

The Ogden Amphitheater is an outdoor venue in downtown Ogden, with an area of ​​280 square meters in front of the stage area, 273 permanent seats, including wheelchair spaces, and 1,830 square meters of lawn.

Listed buildings

The four tallest structures in Ogden are the Ogden City Municipal Building built in 1939 with a height of 56 m, the Ben Lomond Hotel built in 1927 with 54 m, 2404 Washington Boulevard with 45 m from 1927 and the Hampton Inn & Suites built in 1913 with a height of 32 m.

In October 2019, 60 architectural monuments were listed in Ogden in the National Register of Historic Places . Most of these and the oldest houses - the oldest buildings include brick buildings from around 1889 - are located along Historic 25th Street . Nevertheless, only a few closed street areas can be found. Vacant lots often interrupt the street-side house front. In the adjoining blocks, particularly during the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, some very representative buildings were built. The Dennis A. Smyth House from 1889 is an example of eclecticismof Victorian architecture. The devastating city fire in 1911 destroyed many previous buildings, but subsequently also led to the construction of new representative buildings.

Today the 54 meter high Bigelow-Ben Lomond Hotel, built in 1927, is almost isolated at the intersection of 25th Street and Washington Boulevard . The five-story Reed Hotel was built at the same location in 1891. The Bigelow-Ben Lomond Hotel cost $ 1,250,000 and was built in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, which is unusual for Utah. Radissonbought the hotel in the 1980s and renovated it. Other significant buildings from earlier epochs that shaped the cityscape fell victim to demolition in the 1980s and 1990s, often to enlarge existing parking spaces. Despite the numerous demolition work, a number of isolated buildings have remained in Ogden, around 60 of which are classified as architectural monuments.

Culinary specialties

The Becker Brewing and Malting Company (BBMC) was founded in 1890 by the Bavarian Becker family in Ogden and was located on the corner of 19th Street and Lincoln Avenue. Before that, imported beers had dominated the city. However, the Becker family, trained in beer production , used traditional Bavarian brewing methods and spared no expense in using only local, first-class ingredients with careful quality control. The company sold to regional markets in the states of Utah, Nevada , Idaho , Oregon , Colorado , Arizona and California , but also to Illinois and Pennsylvania. In 1906 BBMC was appointed representative of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association. In 1917 the company split its activities. The operation in Ogden was in Becker Products Company renamed, and the Becker Brewing Company , which took over the production of beer, was in nearby Evanston ( Wyoming founded). When Prohibition came into force in 1920, the brewery managed to switch to the production of non-alcoholic beer, soft drink products and the production of ice cream. Even a poultry freezing company was founded. This success led the brewery until the end of Prohibition in 1933 and made Becker Brewing & Malting Co.to the only operational brewery in Utah. The lack of beer selection due to the ban led in the long term to the formation of large national breweries that undercut each other's prices and thus destroyed the local brewing industry. The two Becker companies therefore had to cease operations by 1968.

In recent years, several microbreweries and distilleries have been re- established in Ogden and have attracted strong media and public interest: Ogden's Own Distillery, Roosters Brewing Co., Talisman Brewing Company, UTOG Brewing and the New World Distillery .

In 1906, the City Jail and Police Court were on the corner of Hudson Ave and Lake Street; from the 1930s the headquarters were on the corner of Lake Street and Pebble Street. It was a three-story building with a courtroom and prison cells. In 1939 the police department was housed in the City County Building on Washington Boulevard and was stationed there until 1998. Since 1999 the police station has been in the2186 Lincoln Avenue . Nine police officers have died on duty since 1855. In 2019, 143 police officers and 80 civilians are employed by the police in Ogden. The stranger cases of the police certainly include the internationally circulated stories of an eight-year-old who wanted to take his little sister to a shop in his parents car and crashed it against a tree, leaving the children unharmed or opening up a five-year-old who was stopped on the interstate on my way to California to buy a Lamborghini .

In addition to the local police force, since 1852 Ogden has also been the seat of the Weber County Sheriff 's Office , a Weber County law enforcement agency that worked closely with the City Marshal and the city and county courts to enforce the law. The fire department is divided into the Professional Fire Fighters of Ogden Local 552 and the Firefighter Department . The Ogden Fire Department has five stations in Ogden City to respond to emergencies. The stations are manned by full-time firefighters working 24 hours a day.

Healthcare

The McKay-Dee Hospital is a nonprofit geared to the general hospital of Intermountain Healthcare is operated. With 310 licensed beds, it is the third largest hospital in the Intermountain system and the fourth largest in Utah. Although not directly affiliated with the university, it is southwest of Weber State University's main campus. Originally called the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital , the hospital was founded by Annie Taylor Dee and her children in 1910 when her husband Thomas Dee was tragically killed in an accident. They were determined to build a hospital as a memorial for him and as a service to the community. The original building was in the current one for more than 60 yearsDee Memorial Park at the intersection of 24th Street and Harrison Boulevard. In 1969 a new hospital was built a few kilometers south. The Dee Wing there, originally referred to as the David O. McKay Hospital , opened in 1971 as a rehabilitation and long-term care facility. Soon after, the entire campus was renamed McKay-Dee Hospital . In 2002 the hospital moved even further south to its current location.

Another large hospital in Ogden is the Ogden Regional Medical Center , which was opened in 1946 under the name “St. Benedict's Hospital ”and today has nearly 300 doctors and 1,000 medical staff.

In 1999, a healthy girl was born in Ogden who had developed outside of the uterus , which was not detected by obstetric ultrasound. The location of the pregnancy was only determined after a caesarean section.

Weber State University is based in Ogden . Founded in 1889 as the Weber Stake Academy , the state university has over 26,000 American and international students. The university maintains exchange programs with German universities in Aachen , Bayreuth , Munich , Schmalkalden and Tübingen .

While there are 8 high schools, 10 junior high schools and 30 elementary schools in the Weber School District , there are 3 high schools, 3 junior high schools and 14 elementary schools in the Ogden School District . These 20 schools are attended by 12,170 students.

Construction of Ogden High School began in 1935, directed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and funded with $ 1.2 million. The school was designed by Hodson and MeClenahan using the new "Art Deco" design, specifically "Classical Modernism", a Greco-Roman style with decorative elements that were popular in government and private buildings at the time, such as the Ogden Municipal Building shows. The school was completed on September 17, 1936 and opened in August 1937. An estimated 3,000 people attended the inauguration ceremony on October 29, 1937 in the new auditorium. The Goethe School in Einbeck has had a GAPP since the 1980sExchange with Ogden High School. The impressive large building of the school is repeatedly used as a film set.

Also on Harrison Boulevard is Ben Lomond High School , built in 1952 and named after the nearby Ben Lomond Mountain. This had got its name from Scottish settlers, as it reminded them of Ben Lomond in Scotland . This had a strong cultural influence on the school, so bagpipes are very popular there. The students are known as Friendly Fighting Scots. The school was originally supposed to be called North East Ogden High School, with school colors of black and red and spikes (a reference to the Golden Spike of the transcontinental railroad) as its mascot. However, it was decided to name them after the Ben Lomond. The school was instead given a “Scotsman” as its mascot and the colors of the traditional Scottish uniforms red, white and blue. Ben Lomond High School, apart from the gym, was completely renovated in 2006. Construction began in June 2007 and was completed in August 2010. The school and district received awards for the renovations. A well-known German teacher at Ben Lomond High School was Rob Bishop .

There is pronounced competitive behavior between Ogden High School and Ben Lomond High School , which is channeled into annual sports competitions. This rivalry culminates in a soccer game known as Iron Horse , in which the winner receives a trophy called the "Iron Horse", a statue of two trains that symbolizes the famous railway history of Ogden.

The beginnings of the private St. Joseph Catholic High School go back to the parish of Saint Joseph. In 1877 the school was organized in the old St. Joseph Church. In 1881, this Saint Joseph School moved to a new building at the intersection of 26th Street and Washington Avenue. In 1923, Bishop Glass inaugurated the new Saint Joseph Grade School , which was built on 28th Street and Lincoln Avenue, which operated until the fall of 1979. The Saint Joseph Grade School then bought the Quincy School from the Ogden Board of Education. The Quincy building on the corner of 30th Street and Quincy Avenue now serves as the location for preschool through eighth grade. 1952 became the Saint Joseph Catholic High Schoolbuilt in 1790 / Lake Street and is now used to accommodate the ninth to twelfth grade. The school looks after nine parishes and missions in the greater Ogden area and is the only Catholic primary school in the city.

The Ogden-Weber Applied Technology College is a public technical center founded in 1971. It is the largest of the eight technical colleges that comprise the Utah System of Technical Colleges (USTC). The college offers an open, competency-based education that focuses on technical skills. The college offers technical training in 30 different programs, the most important of which are business and IT, construction, health, manufacturing and services.

The Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind was founded in 1884 at the University of Deseret (University of Utah) in Salt Lake City by William Wood and Joseph Beck, parents of deaf children. When the state of Utah was admitted to the Union in 1896, the Utah School for the Deaf was moved to Ogden and supplemented with a school for the blind. The school for the deaf was at 20th Street and Monroe Avenue, while the school for the blind was at 7th Street and Harrison Boulevard. A new main building was constructed in 1954 and an extension was established in Salt Lake City in 1959. In 1991 new buildings were constructed on the campus at 742 Harrison Boulevard in Ogden. The buildings in Salt Lake City were renovated in 2016.

Other educational institutions include Stevens-Henager College and the DaVinci Academy of Science and the Arts .

Like almost all cities in the USA, Ogden is designed for use by individual motorized traffic. The use of footpaths serves almost exclusively to supplement vehicle traffic. A large part of the food supply is set up by drive-in, the parking areas in front of sales facilities such as supermarkets are also geared accordingly due to their generous dimensions and even banking can be done completely from the driver's seat with drive-in banking and drive-in ATMs make. Ogden is connected to Interstate 15 in the north-south direction and to Interstate 80 and 84 in the east-west direction . US Highway 89 also runs in a north-south directionthrough Ogden, runs a short distance as Washington Boulevard and joins the old US-91, today's Utah State Route 26 , south of downtown, only to continue south again as Highway 89. To the north, Utah State Route 39 connects Ogden with Woodruff . Furthermore, Utah State Route 60 runs through Ogden, Utah State Route 37 forms a kind of 270 ° outer ring around the Ogden-Clearfield metropolitan area .

Some streets in Ogden have their own bike lanes. Bicycle repair stations are open to the public in the Weber State University area. Some of the numerous hiking trails in Ogden's area are also open to bicycles. The possibility of transporting bicycles with the public buses also results in a greater range.

Since 2006, concepts have been repeatedly drawn up for a cable car system from Downtown Ogden to the Wasatch chain in order to reduce air pollution in the inner city area , as in Colorado . Although only the gondola lift network in the Snowbasin would be expanded by one section to the west, it has not yet progressed beyond the planning phase. The length and extent of the gondola lift would be comparable to the Wings of Tatev in Armenia .

A bus system with more than ten lines operates in Ogden. There are several bus routes (603, 650) between Ogden Station and Weber State University. Intercity buses connect Ogden and Salt Lake City (470) in approximately two hours. The buses are basically equipped with the option of transporting bicycles. For this purpose, fastenings are attached on the front that allow up to three bicycles to be carried. Furthermore, an electrically operated foldable ramp is installed on the front access door, which can be extended for wheelchair users and prams. There are parking spaces on the bus for up to three strollers or wheelchairs.

An electric tram between Ogden and Huntsville opened in July 1915, operated until the Pineview Dam was built in 1937, and then dismantled. Since August 2019 a historicizing bus line (No. 601) has been simulating the former tram operation.

Promontory Summit is located near Ogden , where the Union Pacific (UP) and Central Pacific rail networks were connected to complete the first transcontinental railroad through the USA in 1869 . Today the Golden Spike National Historic Site is located there . Although the two railway companies met at the Promontory Summit, Ogden was the transition station between the two competing railway companies during the construction phase. This is why Ogden was the westernmost station in the Union Pacific on the transcontinental railway line until the mid-1990s. In addition, there were lines of the UP in north-south orientation, such as the branch line to the northwest ( Portland /Tacoma ) or the connection after about Salt Lake City and Las Vegas to San Francisco , all of which led over Ogden and made the city one of the most important railway hubs in the western United States. During the height of use of the railroad as a means of transport in World War II , more than 100 passenger trains were handled in Ogden every day. The main line of the Union Pacific between Chicago and California, which has been operating exclusively by rail freight since 1971, still runs through the town . Up to 1971 the UP still ran passenger trains on its route network, which were then taken over by the new national passenger transport company Amtrak . The most important move was thatCity of Los Angeles , a luxury night train between Los Angeles and Chicago that ran via Ogden from 1936 to 1971. The City of San Francisco also took up the transcontinental night train service and from then on reduced the travel time to northern California to 39 hours and 45 minutes. After 1971, only the Amtrak-operated San Francisco Zephyr remained between Chicago and Oakland as the last passenger train to stop in Odgen, until it was relocated to the southern route via Salt Lake City again in 1983 under the former name of California Zephyr . After Amtrak ceased passenger services in 1983, it was until 2008 when theFrontRunner of the Utah Transit Authority line operations in Ogden have resumed. Since then, the FrontRunner (UTA Route 750) has connected Ogden with Provo via Salt Lake City every hour from 7:55 a.m. to 0:55 a.m. The Ogden Intermodal Transit Center , which is located north of the historic Union Station, forms a modern transport hub between the railway lines, which were revived in 2008, the regional city bus routes and the national bus routes operated by Greyhound Lines .

Ogden has a medium-sized airport, Ogden-Hinckley Airport ( IATA code: OGD), which has three paved runways (2,470 m, 1,583 m, 1103 m). In 2010 a total of over 72,000 flights were recorded, an average of around 200 per day. In 2016 the number of passengers was around 32,000. Scenes from the film Con Air were shot at the airport. Another airport in the vicinity of Ogden is the federally owned Hill Air Force Base (IATA code: HIF), which is used exclusively for military purposes. A helipad (heliport) is on the Mc Kay-Dee Hospital Centerlocated (IATA code: UT16). The nearest international airport is Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).
