The Re-naming of Ogden Valley?
By Brian Smith - 24 July 2026
I am proud to have lived in Ogden Valley for 38 years and have loved every minute. I feel a part of the Valley through various volunteer positions that I have had the opportunity to fill, and my wife and I created the first conservation easement on our property to kick start the Ogden Valley Land Trust. I find it hard to believe that folks who live in North Fork, Liberty, Nordic Valley, Middle Fork, and South Fork would want our city to be named Eden or Eden Valley. Ogden Valley has been the historic name given by Peter Skeen Ogden since 1825. I question the validity of the survey results that states all five of the districts want Eden, Eden Valley or Pineview. Our council has been told that duplicate survey answers were thrown out. I know that I filled it out six times and I was not rejected or told that five of my responses were not valid. If you are concerned as well, I encourage you to contact your council member.
Brian Smith,
Ogden Valley
