North Salt Lake is a city in Davis County, Utah, United States. It is part of the Ogden - Clearfield, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 16,322 at the 2010 census,[3] which had risen to an estimated 20,948 as of 2019.[4]

The city is often casually known as North Salt Lake City as it shares a municipal boundary with Salt Lake City to the south, though the city's actual corporate name is "The City of North Salt Lake". The error also has been solidified with the Federal Communications Commission, which has radio station KALL (700) officially licensed to "North Salt Lake City", though for all intents and purposes that station serves the Salt Lake City market in general.
