Uintah at a glance
Living in Uintah
Uintah is in Weber County, Utah. The Weber River borders it on the south and west, the city says, with the Uintah Bench north and the Wasatch Mountains east. The 2020 Census counted 1,454 people.
Morning
Uintah mornings can start at Uintah City Park, at 2105 East 6550 South, which the city places in the heart of town. It lists trees, basketball, tennis, a playground and a baseball field at the center. Picnic tables are scattered throughout, the city says, for reading or a picnic in the shade. Plan ahead, though: the city says there are no public restrooms unless the park is rented. Uintah's history says a multi-use park with a ball diamond was developed in 1965, after the town's water supply was improved.
Afternoon
Uintah's history page reaches back at least 5,000 years, to signs of people that archaeologists found here. Settlers came in 1850 to a river spot that became known as East Weber, and they renamed it Easton in 1867. The railroad station built in 1869 was first called Deseret, then Uintah, which the city's history ties to the local Shoshoni. The town took the station's name. Across the river, South Weber has been in Davis County since an 1855 boundary change.
Evening
The town's history says Uintah sits in an area noted for frequent east winds out of Weber Canyon. Hold on to your hat. U.S. 89 and a Union Pacific rail line, which the city calls a major freight corridor, both cross the town. UTA buses serve U.S. 89 at 6600 South and 6550 South. Interstate 84 meets U.S. 89 at the town's southeast edge. Commuter trains skip Uintah; Ogden's FrontRunner station is 8.5 road miles from City Hall.
Seasons
Uintah calls U-Day annual, a day to honor the city's history, beauty and culture. It grew out of whitewashing the big block U each spring. The 2026 U-Days schedule listed a June 13 parade, fire department water fight and salmon bake, with Uintah City Park as the location. The city calls its Salmon Bake annual too, typically held in June. In 1994, it says, the U was lit with oil lanterns for the last time. Uintah became a town in 1937.

Questions about Uintah

From its railroad station. The town's history says the 1869 station was first called Deseret, then renamed Uintah. The town, then called Easton, took the station's name.

Weber. When an 1855 act moved the land south of the river into Davis County, the north bank, where Uintah stands, stayed in Weber County. Its homes are in Weber School District: wsd.net
