Historical Note

In April 1928 the U.S. Congress set aside roughly 64,000 acres of the marshy area at the delta of the Bear River and the Great Salt Lake as a migratory bird refuge. This act was accomplished largely through the efforts of Alexander Wetmore and over concerns with Botulism that killed tens of thousands of birds in the 1920s. Before 1928 the area was popular among hunters who established several private duck clubs including the Bear River, Duckville, and Chesapeake. In the 1930s a series of dikes (to create habitat and protect against salt water intrusion) and service buildings were constructed. The buildings and dike system, however, were destroyed by rising water in the mid-1980s. Between 1990 and 2000 the dike system was rebuilt and in 2004 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service created a new visitor education center and office complex.
