Historic 25th Street, Historic district in Ogden, United States.

Historic 25th Street is the three-block lower section of 25th Street in Ogden, running from Wall Avenue west to Washington Boulevard east, with Lincoln and Grant Avenues crossing it. The street is lined with old-style commercial buildings that now house restaurants, art galleries and retail shops.

The arrival of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 transformed this street into a central commercial hub with hotels and entertainment venues. The street rapidly grew into a significant business district that drew travelers and workers.

The name "Two-Bit Street" came from the cheap coin said to change hands in its saloons and gambling houses. Today the street hosts a farmers' market from July through September and car shows, and its storefronts hold restaurants, art galleries and retail shops. The rebuilt Union Station at the west end houses the Utah State Railroad Museum, the John M. Browning Arms Museum and the Browning-Kimball Classic Car Museum.

The district runs three blocks of 25th Street, from Wall Avenue at the west end to Washington Boulevard at the east, crossed by Lincoln and Grant Avenues. Union Station sits at the west end, so start there and walk east toward Washington Boulevard. The street is flat and compact, and the sidewalks make the whole length walkable on foot.

The nickname "Two-Bit Street" came from the area's reputation for gambling, prostitution and narcotic sales in the early 20th century. An urban legend holds that bootleggers dug tunnels during Prohibition to move alcohol from Union Station to the Bigelow-Ben Lomond Hotel at the east end. Al Capone is rumored to have called Ogden too wild a town for him.
