Description:Weber County was one of six original counties established in the territory of Utah in 1850, and for a time it bordered California and the Oregon territory. As other Utah counties were created, Weber County was reduced in size. The importance of Weber County was underscored by the Ogden and Weber rivers, which fostered continued growth along their banks. Settlements flourished along these rivers and their tributaries from early times. Miles Goodyear began a permanent settlement on the Weber River in 1845 and the Mormons developed a number of agricultural villages in the county beginning in 1847.Weber County's importance was underlined with the arrival of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 and subsequent establishment of Ogden as a rail center. Weber County became a melting pot. The twentieth century continued to change the face of the county with increased population growth, ethnic diversity, and the development of federal government installations.
