Hooper /ˈhʊpər/ is a city in Weber County, Utah, United States, first called Muskrat Springs and later Hooperville for Captain William Henry Hooper, an early Utah delegate to Congress. The population was 7,218 at the 2010 census, up from the 2000 figure of 3,926. Prior to the city's incorporation on November 30, 2000, Hooper was an unincorporated census-designated place (CDP).
Hooper is part of the Ogden–Clearfield, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Although settled in 1854, the community did not become a township until 1996 (about 15 years after a failed vote to incorporate). However, over the next several years "it became evident that the township board could make plans and suggestions, but had no official power," so a vote to incorporate finally passed on May 2, 2000, with the city being officially incorporated on November 30, 2000.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 11.7 square miles (30.3 km²), of which, 11.5 square miles (29.9 km²) of it is land and 0.2 square miles (0.4 km²) of it (1.45%) is water.
Fremont Island in the Great Salt Lake is included in this city's boundary. On March 30, 2007, Glenn Barrow became the first Hooper mayor to visit the island in the city's brief history.
The current mayor of Hooper is Mayor Korry Green.
As of the census of 2000, there were 3,926 people, 1,150 households, and 1,013 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 340.2 people per square mile (131.4/km²). There were 1,177 housing units at an average density of 102.0 per square mile (39.4/km²). The racial makeup of the CDP was 97.71% White, 0.15% African American, 0.28% Native American, 0.51% Asian, 0.10% Pacific Islander, 0.64% from other races, and 0.61% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 2.06% of the population.
