The History of the Rodeo in Ogden

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

Rodeos came to be in Utah, thanks to the pioneers. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints started celebrating their pioneer heritage in an annual tradition in 1911.

The Chautauqua Institution sparked the tradition. They were a traveling troupe of educators and entertainers from the Chautauqua Lake in New York. When they first arrived in Utah they Early photo of Ogden Cowboy stopped in Ogden during a going after that 8-second ride. "ten-day extravaganza,” as it was called at the time, locals gave a tribute to pioneers via song, patriotic speeches, and marches. Back then, the entire event was called the Chautauqua program. Eventually, the celebration of pioneer heritage became its own event after David O. McKay directed it in 1913. Then, it became known as the Pioneer Days program. However, the institution ran out of money during the Great Depression of the 1920s. In 1935, Ogden saw its first rodeo in the Ogden Pioneer Stadium. But even before that, there were still “livestock shows,” where farmers and others passing through could auction Livestock auction is taking place their cattle, inside the old coliseum. sheep, and hogs. At first, these shows were put on in stockyards, which were mostly used as feeding grounds for livestock traveling by train. By 1919, these shows became so popular that they were held annually. So, in 1926, the county built the Ogden Livestock Coliseum for $100,000. There, they hosted some rodeos. From the 1960s to the 1980s, the county expanded the fairgrounds and built more event centers, namely the Golden Spike Event Center, all with the thought in mind that more rodeos were on the horizon.
