footnotes =South Weber (pronEng|ˈwiːbər) is a city in Davis County,
Utah ,United States . It is part of the Ogden–Clearfield, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 4,260 at the 2000 census.History
South Weber was home to the
Morrisite War . OnJune 13 ,1862 , an estimated five hundred man army perched cannons atop the bluffs on the south side of the city, aimed at Joseph Morris. The war lasted three days, and ultimately resulted in the death of Joseph Morris, John Banks, and a few others. Upon seeing their leaders dead, the remainder of the Morrisites surrendered.South Weber is also known for a week of
Bigfoot sightings in February 1980. For one week, residents reported signs of the legendary Sasquatch. At the time, multiple residents saw the creature while feeding horses, smelled foul "bigfoot" odors, and found large patches of strange fur throughout the small community. Although no animal was ever found, the legend lives on. Chris Rooklidge, a current South Weber resident believes that Big Foot has been swimming in his pond.Geography
