'''Weber County''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|w|iː|b|ər}} {{respell|WEE|bər}}) is a [[County (United States)|county]] in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Utah]]. As of the [[2020 United States census]], the population was 262,223,<ref name="QuickFacts">{{cite web|title=State & County QuickFacts|url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/webercountyutah/PST120221|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=May 17, 2025}}</ref> making it Utah's fourth-most populous county. Its [[county seat]] and largest city is [[Ogden, Utah|Ogden]],<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx|access-date=June 7, 2011|title=Find a County|publisher=National Association of Counties}}</ref> the home of [[Weber State University]]. The county was named after a fur trapper John Weber.

Weber County is part of the Ogden-[[Clearfield, Utah|Clearfield]], UT [[Ogden-Clearfield metropolitan area|Metropolitan Statistical Area]] as well as the [[Salt Lake City]]-[[Provo, Utah|Provo]]-[[Ogden, Utah|Ogden]], UT [[Salt Lake City metropolitan area|Combined Statistical Area]].

==History==
The Weber Valley was visited by many trappers seeking beavers and muskrats along its streams. One of the first on record reached the area in 1824, traveling from [[Fort Bridger]]. He reported that the [[Bear River (Great Salt Lake)|Bear River]] flowed into a salt bay. [[Peter Skene Ogden]] passed through in 1826, representing the [[Hudson's Bay Company]]. He traded in this area for several years, near present-day North Ogden. [[John C. Frémont]] explored the Weber Valley in 1843 and made maps of the area. The Fremont reports encouraged readers to seek their fortunes in the western frontier. [[Miles Goodyear]] was a fur trapper who constructed a way station on the [[Weber River]] in 1845. In 1847 he sold it to incoming [[Mormon pioneers]]. James Brown purchased and changed the site's name to Brownsville (later changed to Ogden).<ref>[http://www.webercountyutah.gov/Parks/fortb/history.php History - Buenaventura Park (accessed March 31, 2019)]</ref>

After the Mormon pioneers began filling out into the future state of Utah, the fledgling government (as of 1849 known as [[State of Deseret]]) began a system of government. On January 31, 1850, the legislature provided for the creation of six counties to generally cover the area, named in this order:
* Weber (with Ogden as county seat)
* Great Salt Lake
* Utah
* San Pete
* Tuilla
* Little Salt Lake<ref>[http://www.riversimulator.org/Resources/History/UtahCounties/HistoryOfWeberCounty1996RobertsSadler.pdf Richard C. Roberts & Richard W. Sadler, A History of Weber County (1997). Accessed 31 March 2019]</ref>

The county boundaries were better defined by the 1852 [[Utah Territory]] legislature. The borders were adjusted by subsequent acts in 1855, 1856, and 1862. The creation of [[Nevada Territory]] in 1862 also administratively reduced the county's territory significantly since its 1852 description had it running to the Sierra Nevada mountains in central California. A final adjustment in 1880 concerning the various lands in the [[Great Salt Lake]] area brought the county's borders to their present configuration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://publications.newberry.org/ahcbp/documents/UT_Individual_County_Chronologies.htm|title=Utah: Individual County Chronologies|website=Utah Atlas of Historical County Boundaries|publisher=[[Newberry Library|The Newberry Library]]|date=2008|access-date=March 31, 2019|archive-date=March 6, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306153326/http://publications.newberry.org/ahcbp/documents/UT_Individual_County_Chronologies.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>

As of the 1852 description, the original Weber County stretched from California in the west, to the Oregon boundary on the north, to a point in the middle [[Davis County, Utah|Davis County]] in the south.<ref>{{cite book|first=Richard Swainson|last=Fisher|title=A new and complete statistical gazetteer of the United States of America| publisher=J.H.

==Geography==
The county extends from high in the [[Wasatch Range]] in the east into a portion of the [[Great Salt Lake]] to the west, where the county's elongated point exists. The Weber and [[Ogden River|Ogden rivers]] and their [[tributary|tributaries]] run through its valleys.<ref name=WCU>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Weber+County,+UT/@41.2412973,-112.1195489,11.75z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x87530c0b357d8a97:0x6305f2940ccb94f4!8m2!3d41.2602635!4d-111.9522491 ''Weber County UT'' Google Maps (accessed 31 March 2019)]</ref> The Weber County Surveyor's office divides the county into two regions, the "Lower Valley" and the "Upper Valley", divided by the ridge of the Wasatch front range south through the county. Lower Valley, adjacent to the Lake, is the county's more populous part. The Upper Valley consists mostly of the [[Ogden Valley]], the watershed of the [[Ogden River]]. The county's highest elevation is [[Willard Peak]] in the [[Wasatch Mountains]], at {{convert|9,763|ft|m|abbr=on}} ASL.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=13209 |title=Utah County High Points/Weber County.

===Major highways===
Many roads in Weber County are named in a numerical grid system with an street name difference of 800 corresponding to one mile in a similar vein to [[Salt Lake County]]. In April 1947, North Ogden was the first municipality in Weber County to adopt the grid system, resulting in the north/south demarcator (1st Street) being placed in the northern half of the county. The east/west demarcator was selected as Wall Avenue which runs parallel to downtown Ogden.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://utahrails.net/articles/sl-county-streets.php|publisher=UtahRails.net|accessdate=November 3, 2024|date=November 3, 2019|title=Salt Lake City and County Street Names and Numbers}}</ref>
