Celebrating 100 Years of Union Station

Union Station has shaped Ogden’s history for over 150 years. The first Union Station, built in 1870, received Ogden’s rail traffic. With it, Ogden grew and changed. It was known as “Junction City,” for its amount of train junctions and traffic. Many people, ideas, and businesses came to Ogden on the railroad. Ogden became a place of social and economic opportunities that allowed people to shape Ogden’s identity through their struggles, triumphs, and connections.

The current Union Station was constructed one hundred years ago in 1924. It was an essential station on the railroad full of travelers coming and going. Each person brought with them ideas and dreams that allowed them to shape their own histories, as well as Ogden’s story. Throughout history, individuals have built our community and created Ogden’s unique heritage and identity. 

Thank you to all who joined us in 2024 for all the 100-year festivities.
