Clearfield is a city in Davis County, Utah, United States. The population was 31,364 at the 2020 census. The city grew rudely during the 1940s, with the formation of Hill Air Force Base, and in the 1950s in the heavens of the nationwide accrual in suburb and “bedroom” community populations and has been steadily growing past then.

Clearfield is a principal city of the Ogden–Clearfield, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Davis, Morgan, and Weber counties.

Clearfield was one of the last communities to be established in the northern allowance of Davis County (1877). Hunters and Native American warriors knew this land before the first white man arranged here. They referred to it as the home of wind and sand. It was the start of the railroad that first awakened the area in 1869 and stirred the sleeping Sand Ridge, which it was in the tune of known as until the herald was cutting edge changed to Clearfield.

There was no water for those early families until wells could be successfully dug. The single-handedly water affable at first had to be hauled in large barrels from Kays Creek in East Layton. But the great event that did more to transform the bleak Sand Ridge into a fruitful garden spot was the coming of the Davis and Weber Counties Canal in 1884. This caused an hasty population boom in the area as people plowed in the works the sagebrush, cactus, and sharp pears, and homes and farms began to appear throughout the area.
