HISTORIC 25TH STREET

From the beginning, Ogden’s Historic 25th Street has been a bit on the rebellious side. Often chided as Salt Lake City’s devious little sister, Historic 25th Street has been breaking the notions of conservative Utah for more than a century. With nicknames like Notorious Two Bit Street and Electric Alley, this street has seen it all.

In 1869, The Golden Spike brought together the first transcontinental railroad, roughly fifty miles to the northwest of Union Station, and created a boom town in Ogden. Looking at Historic 25th Street now, it’s hard to believe it was once home to brothels, political scandals, and the “dark ages” of gang rivalries so intense you couldn’t walk the three-block length in safety.

Today, 25th Street is a mecca for travelers, art collectors, foodies, outdoor enthusiasts of all manner and each season offers a new draw. We welcome more than a million visitors annually.

Often cited as Salt Lake City’s devious little sister, Historic 25th Street has been breaking the notions of conservative Utah for more than a century. In 1869, The Golden Spike brought together the Transcontinental Railroad 50 miles northwest of Ogden’s Union Station. That historic event helped build 25th Street, its hotels, bars and shops. 

Overtime, Historic 25th Street has grown into Ogden’s hub for nightlife adventures, restaurants, art galleries and independently owned shops. Locals, travelers, art collectors, foodies and outdoor enthusiasts can always find something to do on 25th street. Historic 25th Street is also home to many prominent downtown events and happenings, such as Farmers Market Ogden, First Friday Art Stroll, Harvest Moon Celebration, Witchstock Festival, Christmas Village and the Wasatch Yeti Bash.
