Morgan's history dates back to around 1861, when North Morgan was settled (it was originally called Mount Joy). The community was named for Jedediah Morgan Grant, an apostle for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, who helped settle the Morgan Valley and build the first road through Weber Canyon. Eventually, in 1868, the settlements of North Morgan and South Morgan were combined to form the only incorporated city in Morgan County. When the Union Pacific Railroad built tracks through Weber Canyon in 1868-1869, it put Morgan on the map. At one point, it was said Morgan was the "only incorporated city on the Union Pacific line between Ogden and Omaha, Nebraska."
Although Morgan's business district was initially located in South Morgan, when the railroad was built, local businessmen saw an opportunity to take business closer to railroad freight and passenger stations. Commercial Street became Morgan's center of commerce, as many of Morgan's establishments were moved to the west side of the railroad. Commercial Street continues to serve as Morgan's main street and is the focal point of the Morgan Historic District. Early businesses along Commercial Street included a ZCMI store, J.C. Penney, and the First National Bank of Morgan.
