Ogden

Japanese: オグデン（英語表記）Ogden

A city in northern Utah, United States. It is located in the northern part of the Great Salt Lake basin, close to the eastern shore of the lake. Founded by Mormons in 1847, it was originally named Brownsville. After the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, it developed as a key railroad transportation center and a distribution center for goods in the mountains. In addition to light industries such as pharmaceuticals and clothing, the aircraft industry also developed with Hill Air Force Base nearby. Although it is a highland arid basin with a desert on the opposite side of the Great Salt Lake, the city has many trees thanks to the water flowing down from the Wasatch Mountains. Snowbasin Ski Resort is located on nearby Mount Ogden. It is connected to Salt Lake City to form a metropolitan area. Population 63,909 (1990).

アメリカ合衆国，ユタ州北部の都市。グレートソルト湖の盆地北部に位置し，湖の東岸に近い。 1847年モルモン教徒により創設，当初名はブラウンズビル。 69年に大陸横断鉄道が開通し，以後山間部の鉄道交通の要地，物資集散地として発展。薬剤，衣料などの軽工業のほか，ヒル空軍基地を控えて航空機産業も発達。グレートソルト湖の対岸に砂漠があるほどの高原乾燥盆地であるが，ワサッチ山脈から流下する水のおかげで，市内に樹木が多い。付近のオグデン山にスノーベースン・スキー場がある。ソルトレークシティーと連接して大都市圏を形成。人口6万 3909 (1990) 。
