Growing rural city, north of Ogden

Plain City sits directly south of Willard Bay State Park and is surrounded by marshes and farmlands, about 12 miles northwest of Ogden. The city, which was originally settled by homesteaders in the 1850s, is in a state of growth with new homes being built in the central and eastern regions, to go along with a population of 8,500. “The neighborhood itself used to be a rural, farming community, and it’s only just now moving away from that, so it’s not super dense yet, which is nice,” says Realtor Ashley Kinney with Brick Realty, who specializes in the Ogden area. “It’s got that small-town feel with more city amenities because it’s only 10 or 15 minutes to Ogden proper.”
The area’s top industries are transportation, public administration and construction. Several national trucking companies got their respective starts in Plain City, including Knight Transportation, C.R. England Trucking and Pride Transport.
