Miles Goodyear, born in Connecticut in 1817, went west at age 19 during the fur trade era and in 1845 established Fort Buenaventura, meaning Good Adventure, near the confluence of the Weber and Ogden Rivers. His stockade contained a few log houses, a herd of cattle, horses, and goats, and a garden. In 1847 Captain James Brown, a member of the Mormon Battalion, bought the property from Goodyear, who later went to the California gold fields. Later flooding forced the settlement to relocate, and a new facility called Brown’s Fort was built south and east at a site near 29th Street in the railroad yards. One of Goodyear’s cabins was preserved, eventually moved to the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum site on Ogden’s Tabernacle Square, and restored. That cabin is known as the oldest permanent residence in Utah. The city that grew from this settlement was later named Ogden in honor of Peter Skene Ogden, who had trapped fur in the area.
