About Bridgeport

Bridgeport was the community name given to a small ranching area in far eastern Daggett County, Utah, United States, near the Colorado border. The Bridgeport store, saloon and post office were located on the north side of the Green River near the mouth of Jesse Ewing Canyon, near the western end of Browns Park.
