Burch came from Kentucky with the Lorenzo Snow company of Utah pioneers.

The Ogden City Council founded a six-room isolation facility for smallpox patients in Burch Creek in 1882.

There was little development until 1890 when extensive investments in land, both residential and commercial, took place.

The water supply was augmented in 1934, a year of serious drought, when the Federal Drought Relief Agency financed the installation of a water supply line from Burch Creek Canyon.

The petition was granted and on July 6, 1936 the town of South Ogden was established.

Mormon pioneers settled the area, and the LDS Church is still well represented, with several chapels located in the city.

In 2001, South Ogden elected Utah's first African American mayor—Mayor George Garwood.
