The Ogden Utah Temple

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

The Ogden Temple was the first temple built in Utah since the dedication of the Salt Lake Temple in 1893. The Church decided to build two high capacity, modern temples, the Ogden, and its twin the Provo Temple, to relieve overcrowding at the Logan, Salt Lake and Manti temples, where 52% of all endowments in the Church were being performed.

The temple was announced on 14 August 1967.
Ground was broken and construction begun on 8 September 1969.
The cornerstone was laid in September 1970.
The temple was dedicated on 18-20 January 1972.
There are 11 Sealing rooms and 6 Ordinance rooms in the 115,000 square foot temple.
The spire is 180 feet tall.
The Ogden Temple serves stakes in part of northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming.
