'''Roy''' is a city in [[Weber County, Utah]], United States, on the west side of [[Interstate 15 in Utah|Interstate 15]]. The [[2020 United States Census|population in 2020]] was 39,306; an increase of 6.6% from 36,884 at the [[2010 United States Census|2010 census]]. Roy is part of the [[Ogden-Clearfield metropolitan area]], and is considered a [[suburb]] of nearby [[Ogden, Utah|Ogden]], although some small businesses are present in Roy.

==History==
Roy was settled in 1873 by William Evans Baker, Esther Celestia Cole Baker, and their children, 25 years after Ogden. Most of the communities to the east and south had already been settled. Previously known as Central City, Sandridge, the Basin, and Lakeview, Roy was ultimately named for a local schoolteacher's child, Roy C. Peebles, who had died. On May 24, 1894, a post office was established and Roy's name was made official.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.media.utah.edu/UHE/r/ROYCITY.html|title=Utah History Encyclopedia|last1=Russell|first1=Emma|last2=Wiberg|first2=Beverly|date=March 18, 2001|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120803130403/http://www.media.utah.edu/UHE/r/ROYCITY.html|archive-date=August 3, 2012|url-status=dead|access-date=August 3, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Roy,_Utah|title=Roy, Utah Genealogy - FamilySearch Wiki|website=www.familysearch.org|access-date=August 3, 2019}}</ref> The City of Roy was incorporated on March 10, 1937. Joseph William Jensen was Roy's first mayor, elected by the commissioners and serving for six years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.royutah.org/?page_id=3199|title=Roy City Mayor Biographies - Roy City|website=www.royutah.org|access-date=2015-10-19}}</ref>

[[File:Roy Utah First Post Office.jpg|thumb|upright|A plaque describing the nature of the first post office in Roy City, Utah.]]

Roy's businesses were limited until the early 1940s. A gas station, several grocery stores, a cafe, and a lumberyard made up the modest business district. But Roy developed rapidly during [[World War II]]. It housed many of the workers and personnel from adjacent military installations, including [[Hill Air Force Base]], the Navy Supply Depot (now the [[Freeport Center]]), and the [[Defense Depot Ogden Utah|Defense Supply Depot]]. September 1953 marked a milestone in Roy's history—Roy received a charter to establish Utah's first branch bank. This branch of the [[Bank of Utah]] pioneered the way for other banks to establish branches in the state. Norton Parker, son of Mayor Dean Parker, was the first manager of this new branch.

Roy's population growth was extreme in the 1950s and 1960s, when most of the eastern bench was populated with entry-level homes. Starting in the 1980s, construction efforts shifted to the bottom of the hill on Roy's west side, continuing until about 2005, when new real estate shifted west and south.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ivoryhomes.com/homes/countylocations.phtml?c=3|title=Weber County Locations|date=April 12, 2001|website=Ivory Homes|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010412223330/http://www.ivoryhomes.com/homes/countylocations.phtml?c=3|archive-date=April 12, 2001|url-status=dead|access-date=August 3, 2019}}</ref>

==Transportation==
The city is served by [[Interstate 15 in Utah|Interstate 15]] via exit 338, leading to [[Utah State Route 97]] (5600 South), one of Roy's major roads. The northern entrance of [[Hill Air Force Base]] is accessible from this exit, making Roy a common destination for those in the military.

[[FrontRunner]] has a [[Roy station|station in Roy]] that opened on April 26, 2008, along with the rest of the northern segment.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rideuta.com/Rider-Tools/Schedules-and-Maps/750-FrontRunner|title=FrontRunner|website=Utah Transit Authority|access-date=August 3, 2019}}</ref> Two sets of train tracks bisect the city at 2700 West, being served by FrontRunner and [[Union Pacific Railroad]].
