Linda H. Smith writes about the history of Morgan County in the Utah Centennial County History Series.
"Morgan County in northern Utah contains 610 square miles, more than 90 percent of
which is privately owned. Situated within the
Wasatch Mountains, its boundaries defined by mountain ridges, Morgan County has been celebrated for its alpine setting. Weber Canyon and the Weber River traverse the fertile Morgan Valley; and it was the lush vegetation of the pristine valley that prompted the first white settlers in 1855 to carve a road to it through Devils Gate in lower Weber Canyon."
