Defense Depot Ogden

It encompassed 1,139 acres (5 km2) with its southwest corner located on 12th Street (1200 South) and Tomlinson Road (1200 West).

Prior to the establishment of what was known as the Utah General Depot on September 15, 1941, the underlying land was used for pasture and farmland.

The DDOU was used as logistical supply and administrative support for military installations and other DOD and federal agencies.

The Depot had an Officers' Club that allowed Department of the Army civilian employees to enjoy the facility.

A set of military houses between the front gate and the Officers' Club made it feel like a neighborhood.

The City of Ogden and Boyer Co. entered an agreement early in the conversion process that forced any and all profit from the BDO to be diverted directly into investments in the facilities.

In October 2006, this agreement will expire, giving Ogden City and Boyer Co. even shares of future profits.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) maintains a large facility on site as part of its local network of buildings in the Ogden area.

Commercial facilities on site include, among others, Autoliv, Edge Products, Barnes Aerospace, Hersheys, Homedepot, Setpoint, TreeHouse Foods, ICON Fitness, Kenco Logistic Services, and the Standard Examiner.
