Set against the stunning backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake, Hill Air Force Base is more than a military installation. It is a point of pride for Northern Utah and a cornerstone of our shared history. Founded in the mid-1930s after airmail operations highlighted the region’s ideal climate and strategic location, Hill AFB has grown alongside the surrounding communities for more than 80 years. Generations of Utahns have worked, served, and supported missions here, contributing directly to the strength and security of our nation. Today, Hill Air Force Base continues to play a vital role in America’s defense while remaining deeply connected to the people, economy, and spirit of Utah, a powerful reminder that service to country often begins right at home.
