Brigham City is a city in Box Elder County, Utah, United States. It lies on the western slope of the Wellsville Mountains, a branch of the Wasatch Range at the western terminus of Box Elder Canyon. Brigham City saw most of its growth during the 1950s and 1960s, but has seen a struggling economy and stagnating growth since then. It is near the headquarters of ATK Thiokol, the company that created the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle.
Brigham City is known for its peaches and holds an annual celebration called Peach Days on the weekend after Labor Day.
The city was incorporated in 1867, and named for Brigham Young, the second President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often called the LDS or Mormon church.
Brigham City in The House of Daniel[]
Brigham City was a Mormon-founded town, with wide streets and rows of trees along the roads. Like a number of cities, Brigham City had its share of financial difficulties after the Big Bubble burst. However, the church had established a strong social safety net, and some of the most obvious symptoms of economic depression, like shanty towns, were absent.[1]
The House of Daniel came to play the Brigham City Peaches on July 3, 1934, losing 3-0.[2]
