Clearfield, Utah 84015

Clearfield, Utah, is a city in north-central Davis County.  The city is bordered to the north by Clinton and Sunset, to the west by Syracuse and West Point, to the south by West Layton and Layton, and to the east by Hill Air Force Base and Layton.  The area was settled in 1877, making it one of the last communities to be settled in Davis County.  For many years, Clearfield--originally known as "Sandridge"--remained  a quiet farming community.  However, the city's population boomed with the creation of Hill Field and the Clearfield Naval Supply Depot in the early 1940s.  Hill Field became Hill Air Force Base, while the Naval Supply Depot was phased out in the 1960s.  It is now known as the Freeport Center and is a major hub for manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution.

Today, more than 31,000 residents call Clearfield home.  Clearfield offers many wonderful amenities to its residents, including numerous public parks and walking trails, a skate park, two fishing ponds, and the Clearfield Aquatic Center, which houses a swimming pool complete with a water slide and play area, a weight room and fitness center, and basketball courts.  Clearfield also offers many programs for its youth, including organized sports such as basketball, baseball, contact football, soccer, and more; the Clearfield Youth Resource Center, which offers free after-school and summer programs for children; and the Clearfield Youth Council.  Clearfield is also home to many shops, retailers, and restaurants.  Hill Air Force Base and the Freeport Center remain major employers of Clearfield residents.
