BRIGHAM, a city in northern Utah, U.S.A., near the Bear river bay of Great Salt lake, 20m. N. of Ogden; the county seat of Box Elder county. It has an elevation of 4,307ft. and lies at the mouth of the canyon formed by Box Elder creek. It is on Federal Highway 91, and is served by the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific railways. The population in 193o was 5,093. Brigham was settled in 1853 by Mormons, who by irrigation transformed the sagebrush desert into a garden. The region is famous for its peaches and other fruits, and the city itself is practically a huge orchard, with an irrigating ditch along every street. On Peach Day, early in September, fruit is given freely to the thousands of visitors. Among the manufacturing industries are large tomato canneries and beet sugar mills. The Bear river bay marshes are one of the noted bird grounds of the country, attracting both sportsmen and students. Brigham was incorporated as a city in 1867, and in 1918 adopted a city man ager form of government.
