Notes
  • Significance: The Ogden Arsenal was the first major defense installation constructed in Utah during the twentieth century. Unlike nineteenth-century garrisons, the Arsenal's construction marked Utah's first installation established to received, store, ship, manufacture, and repair war materiel. Following World War I, the War Department decided to disperse munition to the west. Because of geography and rail facilities, Ogden seemed ideal. The U.S. Army Ordnance Department completed initial construction in October 1921; the Arsenal began storing munitions that same month. After only two years, as the possibility of war receded, the Arsenal sank into disuse. Then, in 1935, in response to the conquests of Axis powers in Europe and Asia, the Ordnance Department decided to rebuild the Arsenal into a major storage and manufacturing facility. Construction began as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project, and continued as war engulfed the world. During World War II, Arsenal employees loaded artillery shells and aerial bombs and linked small arms ammunition. Workers also received, stored, and shipped munitions; ordnance and transportation equipment; and parts, supplies, and tools to the western United States and the Pacific Theatre. The base reached an employment peak of 6,600 in 1942. Following World War II, the Arsenal sold surplus material as employment declined to under 1,500. With the outbreak of the Korean War, employment again rose as workers manufactured munitions and supplied war material to American troops. After the end of the Korean War, the Army needed more space than the Arsenal location allowed, while the Air Force needed to expand nearby Hill Air Force Base (HAFB). The Army transferred most facilities to HAFB on April 1, 1955, and ordnance functions moved to Tooele Ordnance Depot.
