Welcome to Brigham City!

Brigham City is a small, progressive city, with a population of approximately 18,500 located in Box Elder County approximately 60 miles north of Salt Lake City on the I-15 corridor. Brigham City is well known regionally for the appeal of its “small town atmosphere,” and considerable quality of life.

Brigham City has recently completed a strategic planning process known as Vision 2012. Vision 2012 includes a number of Economic Development Goals. The City’s overriding economic development goal is to increase the median income of Brigham City residents as a percentage of Utah median income by 10% by 2012. Brigham City is committed to this aggressive goal.
