Marriott-Slaterville, Utah

Marriott-Slaterville is a small city in central Weber County.  Marriott-Slaterville shares borders with Farr West to the north, Plain City to the north and west, West Haven to the west and south, and Ogden to the south and east.  The city was incorporated in 1999.  Prior to that, it had been two unincorporated areas known individually as Marriott and Slaterville.  These areas were both settled around 1852 by several Mormon pioneer families and were named for John Marriott and Richard Slater, respectively.  Many descendants of these families still reside in Marriott-Slaterville.

The city is small, and most of its land is farm land, though new developments are now continuously becoming available.  The city offers three parks with various amenities, and it hosts many events at these parks, including an annual Easter egg hunt in the spring, an Independence Day celebration in the summer, and Trunk-or-Treat at Halloween.  Marriott-Slaterville is located conveniently within short driving distance of many of northern Utah's finest outdoor attractions.  For example, all of Ogden Valley's ski resorts--Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, and Wolf Mountain--are with a 45-minute drive.  Residents also have access to Ogden Valley's innumerable hiking and mountain biking trails.  Downtown Ogden is a quick fifteen-minute drive away, and Salt Lake City is about 45 minutes south on the freeway. Residents enjoy how country the lifestyle feels and yet they can be on the freeway within 10 minutes. Agriculture and farming is a major part of Marriott-Slaterville's history.  As such, much of the city is rural, but as more residents have taken up jobs in different sectors, Marriott-Slaterville has developed some subdivision living as well.
