Ogden Valley (Shoshone: Ink-ah-we-in-da, “Red Pass Basin”) is a high mountain valley and ski resort community in Weber County, Utah, United States. The population was 6,855 at the 2010 census. Planning in the valley is managed by a special county-level planning division, the Ogden Valley Planning Commission. The valley is a popular vacation and tourism destination with three ski resorts, Pineview Reservoir, Causey Reservoir, and national forest lands. Despite its name, the city of Ogden is not located in the Ogden Valley.




History



Peter Skene Ogden entered the valley on May 16, 1825 with a band of trappers employed by the Hudson's Bay Company. William Kittson was in the group as well and drew a map of the area. They were trapping beaver as part of the company's campaign to eliminate all the furbearing animals between British-controlled territories and U.S. territory in order to keep American fur hunters from entering the Oregon Country. The HBC band left the Valley a few days later, but returned on May 25 after American trappers drove them away from Mountain Green at Deserter Point. In 1849 Captain Howard Stansbury of the U.S. Army explored the valley during an expedition to Northern Utah with Jim Bridger. Stansbury described the area as a "most lovely, broad, open valley" with its "numerous bright little streams of pure running water" a "scene...cheering in the highest degree".
In November of 2024 voters decided to incorporate much of Ogden Valley as a new, independent city.




Geography


The Valley has three towns: Eden, Huntsville, and Liberty. Only Huntsville is incorporated as a town. Eden and Liberty are census-designated places. The Valley is centered around Pineview Reservoir, which is fed by the North, Middle and South forks of the Ogden River.
The Utah Geological Survey studied the water resources of the Valley and published their results in 2019.
