About Jensen

Jensen is a census-designated place in eastern Uintah County, Utah, United States. The 2020 census counted 372 residents. Jensen lies along the Green River and U.S. Route 40, southeast of Vernal, the county seat of Uintah County, and about 17 miles west of the Colorado border. Jensen was first settled in 1877 and named for Lars Jensen, an early prospector and ferryman. That mix gives Jensen a clear local shape within Utah, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present.
