It is centrally located among many other communities in Duchesne and Uintah Counties, and pulls in a population of approximately 20,000 for shopping, dining, and recreation. Roosevelt City is the energy hub of Utah and the heart of the Uintah Basin.Roosevelt City is vibrant and growing. There have been multiple annexations into the city in recent years. In 2017, we were recognized as a Business-Friendly City by Utah Governor Gary Herbert. We have received multiple awards, most recently Utah Construction and Design's 2018 Most Outstanding Municipal/Utility Project of the Year. We also boast many of the amenities you would expect to find in a much larger city. We are home to USU-Uintah Basin, a branch campus of Utah State University, and UBTech, the state's first technical college. We are home to the largest independent healthcare organization in the State of Utah. Our local telecommunications co-op provides fiber internet access to many areas of our city, and our local electric co-op has kept our power rates among the lowest in the state since the 1980s.While it has many amenities and opportunities, it is truly the community that draws people to Roosevelt City. The typical Roosevelt resident is both family and community-oriented. Many of our residents enjoy outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, hunting, and fishing. We also enjoy the arts, and there are many programs for dancers and musicians especially. There is a strong spirit of generosity and volunteerism in Roosevelt. The community regularly bands together in times of need, and many of the programs in our city are run by passionate volunteers. Residents consistently report that the number one thing they love about Roosevelt City is the people who live here.
