Heber City travel guide

Heber City is a city in Wasatch County, Utah, United States. The population was 7,291 at the 2000 census and by 2005 had been estimated at 9,147. Heber City was founded by English emigrants who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the late 1840s, and is named after the Mormon apostle Heber C. Kimball. The city was largely pastoral, focusing largely on dairy farms and cattle ranching, and has hence become a bedroom community for Orem, Provo, Park City and Salt Lake City.
Heber City is currently governed by Mayor David Phillips along with City Council Members Terry Wm. Lange; Vaun A. Shelton; Shari Lazenby; Jeffery Bradshaw; and Elizabeth Hokanson.
The County High School is located in Heber City, and Heber City is the county seat. Largely LDS, Heber City also supports congregations of Southern Baptists, Catholics as part of the Diocese of Salt Lake City, and Jehovah's Witnesses. Utah Valley State College has recently finished construction of a secondary campus north of Heber City along the U.S. 40 corridor.
Heber City's youth are employed largely in the 'fast food' establishments along the Main Street (U.S. Highway 40) corridor and the local gas stations. The adult population work mostly in Park City, Salt Lake City, Provo and Orem. Farming was once a large force in the economy, but this has diminished. The largest local employer is most likely the Wasatch County School District.
The Heber City Municipal Airport is located to the south of the city, near the junction of U.S. Highway 40 and U.S. Highway 189, and is capable of handling small prop and jet traffic. (...) more....
