Fort Buenaventura was the first permanent settlement by people of European descent in the region that is now Utah. It was established by the trapper Miles Goodyear about a mile west of where downtown Ogden is currently located. In November 1847, Fort Buenaventura was purchased by the Mormon settlers for $1,950. The settlement was called Brownsville then later Ogden. Fort Buenaventura is now a Utah state park. Ogden was named for Peter Skein Ogden.
Ogden was known as a major passenger railroad junction owing to its location along major east-west and north-south routes. Railroad passengers traveling west to San Francisco from the eastern United States typically passed through Ogden (and not through the larger Salt Lake City to the south). Ogden is the closest sizable city to the golden spike location in Utah where the First Transcontinental Railroad was joined in 1869.
Ogden which is about one hour north of Salt Lake City did contribute to the Salt Lake City Olympics. The Ice Sheet in Ogden was the site of Curling for the Olympics. The Ice Sheet is a hockey rink but was converted to Curling for the Olympic Games. There are no permanent curling rinks in Ogden or Utah.
