Weber County in Utah is named after the Weber River, which was named in honor of John Weber, a trapper and fur trader who explored the area in the early 19th century. The name "Weber" itself is derived from the German word for "weaver." The county was established in 1850, and its name reflects the region's early settlement and economic activities related to the fur trade.
Cache County in Utah is named after the fur stashes made by many of the fur trappers.
It was taken from Fort Pierre across the Missouri River, which in turn was named after the French Canadian Indian trader Pierre Cadet Choteau, Jr. of the American Fur Company.
