==History== South Weber was the site of the [[Morrisite War]]. On June 13, 1862, an estimated 500-man army perched cannons atop the bluffs on the south side of the city, aimed at [[Church of the Firstborn (Morrisite)|Joseph Morris]]. The war lasted three days, and ultimately resulted in the death of Joseph Morris, John Banks, and a few others. Upon seeing their leaders dead, the remainder of the Morrisites surrendered. South Weber is also known for a week of [[Bigfoot]] sightings in February 1980.<ref name="Bigfoot: a search in Utah">{{cite news|last1=Arave|first1=Lynn|title=Bigfoot: a search in Utah|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705312523/Bigfoot-a-search-in-Utah.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090626043059/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705312523/Bigfoot-a-search-in-Utah.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 26, 2009|access-date=3 February 2017|work=The Deseret News|date=24 June 2009}}</ref> For one week, residents reported signs of the legendary Sasquatch. At the time, multiple residents claimed to have seen the creature while feeding horses, smelled foul "bigfoot" odors, and found large patches of strange fur throughout the small community. Although no animal was ever found, the legend lives on.<ref name="Bigfoot: a search in Utah"/> ''Business Week'' magazine named South Weber the sixth best suburb in the country in 2009.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Villaseñor|first1=Maria|title=South Weber called one of nation's best|url=http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=11899456&itype=NGPSID|access-date=3 February 2017|work=The Salt Lake Tribune|date=12 March 2009}}</ref>
