History
British trapper and explorer Peter Skene Ogden was the first European to map and describe the “Ogden Hole” valley which would later include Liberty. The Liberty area was settled beginning in 1859 as an outgrowth of Eden. In 1892, a separate townsite was laid out and a separate ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints organized. The name came from John Freeman’s remarks that both cattle and people took “full liberty” in the area.
Settlement happened gradually, homes built one at a time rather than in tract housing. Traditionally a farming and ranching community, Liberty has developed in recent years into a recreational community and commuter town for the Ogden area.
