The county was created by the [[Utah Territory]] legislature on January 5, 1856, with the territory partitioned from [[Weber County, Utah|Weber County]]. Its boundaries were altered in 1862 by adjustments between counties and in 1866 when all its area in the now-existent state of [[Nevada]] (which had gained territorial status in 1861 and statehood in 1864) was formally partitioned. The county boundaries were finally altered in 1880 by adjustments between [[Salt Lake County, Utah|Salt Lake]] and [[Weber County, Utah|Weber]] counties. Its boundary has remained unchanged since 1880.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://publications.newberry.org/ahcbp/documents/UT_Individual_County_Chronologies.htm |title=&#91;&#91;Newberry Library&#93;&#93;.

==Geography==
Box Elder County lies at the northwest corner of Utah. Its west border abuts the east border of the state of [[Nevada]] and its north border abuts the south border of the state of [[Idaho]]. Its territory includes large tracts of barren desert, contrasted by high, forested mountains. The [[Wasatch Front]] lies along the south-eastern border, where the main cities are found.<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Box+Elder+County,+UT/@41.5002544,-113.5182881,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x80acab70a7990763:0x5aee591c08666368!8m2!3d41.5380087!4d-113.1918021 ''Box Elder County UT''  Google Maps (accessed 13 March 2019)]</ref> The terrain generally slopes to the south (toward the [[Great Salt Lake]]), although the NW corner of the county slopes to the north, allowing runoff from that area to flow to the [[Snake River Plain|Snake River drainage]].

In the east lie the [[Wellsville Mountains]], a branch of the [[Wasatch Range]]. In the west is a large, mostly uninhabited desert area. The [[Great Salt Lake]] lies in the southeastern corner of the county. The combined [[Interstate 15 in Utah|Interstate 15]]/[[Interstate 84 in Utah|Interstate 84]] runs northward in the eastern part of the county. The two routes diverge at [[Tremonton, Utah|Tremonton]], with I-84 heading northwest past [[Snowville, Utah|Snowville]] into central and western Idaho and I-15 heading north past [[Plymouth, Utah|Plymouth]] and [[Portage, Utah|Portage]] into eastern Idaho.
