Morgan, Utah
Morgan is a city in the U.S. state of Utah and the county seat of Morgan County. It is part of the Ogden-Clearfield metropolitan area. It is named after Jedediah Morgan Grant, a leader in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who served as an apostle and as a member of the LDS First Presidency under Brigham Young in the mid-1850s. As of the 2020 census, the city population was 4,071 people.
Morgan's history dates back to around 1861, when North Morgan was settled (it was originally called Mount Joy). The community was named for Jedediah Morgan Grant, an apostle for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, who helped settle the Morgan Valley and build the first road through Weber Canyon. Eventually, in 1868, the settlements of North Morgan and South Morgan were combined to form the only incorporated city in Morgan County. When the Union Pacific Railroad built tracks through Weber Canyon in 1868-1869, it put Morgan on the map. At one point, it was said Morgan was the "only incorporated city on the Union Pacific line between Ogden and Omaha, Nebraska."
Although Morgan's business district was initially located in South Morgan, when the railroad was built, local businessmen saw an opportunity to take business closer to railroad freight and passenger stations. Commercial Street became Morgan's center of commerce, as many of Morgan's establishments were moved to the west side of the railroad. Commercial Street continues to serve as Morgan's main street and is the focal point of the Morgan Historic District. Early businesses along Commercial Street included a ZCMI store, J.C. Penney, and the First National Bank of Morgan.
The 1989 horror movie Troll 2 was filmed mostly in and around Morgan.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.2 square miles (8.3 km2), all land. It has a humid continental climate with warm summers (Köppen Dfb). The city is located within Morgan Valley.
As of the 2020 census, Morgan had a population of 4,071. The median age was 30.9 years, with 35.5% of residents under the age of 18 and 12.4% were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 100.3 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 97.3 males age 18 and over.
The entire population lived in rural areas, with 0.0% living in urban areas.
There were 1,244 households in Morgan, of which 46.9% had children under the age of 18 living in them. Of all households, 70.3% were married-couple households, 9.0% were households with a male householder and no spouse or partner present, and 18.2% were households with a female householder and no spouse or partner present. About 16.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
