Ogden City, situated on the west face of Wasatch Mountains, has a unique story: Initially a mountain man trading center, Ogden grew rapidly after becoming "The Depot" at the junction of the intercontinental railroad. Ogden's selection as a major venue city for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games has again focused attention on Ogden as a recreational Mecca.
New companies have shown great confidence in Ogden. Adam’s Aircraft, Descente North America, Goode Skis, Kahuna Creations, JDH group, and others to be announced have brought their national headquarters and facilities to Ogden to take advantage of Ogden’s resources, relative low cost, well educated employees, and unique geographical ability to provide easy access to air, truck, and rail transportation.
