Northern Utah area guide
Box Elder County
Brigham City, Tremonton, and Utah's Fruit Way.
The area, in plain English
Box Elder County anchors Northern Utah's northwest corner, with Brigham City as its seat and largest city, Tremonton second, and small towns like Perry, Willard, Mantua, and Garland spread along Highway 89 and I-15. This is peach orchard country: Utah's Fruit Way runs through Willard, Perry, and Brigham City, and Peach Days has been celebrated every September since 1904. Buyers often get more land for the money here than anywhere else on the Wasatch Front, with the Ogden and Salt Lake metros still reachable by freeway.

Day-to-day life
What it's really like to live here.
Box Elder County is orchard country: the fruit stands along Highway 89 between Willard, Perry, and Brigham City are a summer institution, and the warm days and cool nights that made the peaches famous also make for comfortable small-town living. Brigham City sits against the mountains with the Great Salt Lake to the west, and prices and lot sizes are among Northern Utah's most approachable. Corinne carries railroad-era history from the Golden Spike story, Mantua is a quiet lake town up the canyon, and Tremonton anchors the county's northern farming country.

- First-time buyers who want a yard and a garage for a starter price
- Acreage and garden-space buyers
- Commuters using I-15 to Ogden or Brigham City workplaces
- Retirees who want room to garden and a quieter pace
