Ogden
Ogden, Utah, was named after Peter Skene Ogden, a famous fur-trader and adventurer, who discovered the wild area during the 1820s. Today it sits roughly 10 miles east of the Great Salt Lake and about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City. Historically, Ogden has always been the second-largest city in Utah and houses an abundance of historic buildings. Backed up against the Wasatch Mountain Range, Ogden has a very quaint history as a lawless frontier town as it is known as the crossroads of the west.
