Heber City

Heber City is a city in northwestern Wasatch County, Utah, United States. The population was 11,362 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Wasatch County.

Description
Heber City was founded by English immigrants who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the late 1850s, and is named after the Mormon apostle Heber C. Kimball. It is the county seat of Wasatch County. The original Heber City town square is located on the west side of Main Street between Center Street and 100 North and currently houses city offices as well as the historic Wasatch Stake Tabernacle and Heber Amusement Hall. The city was largely pastoral, focusing largely on dairy farms and cattle ranching, and has since become a bedroom community for Orem, Provo, Park City and Salt Lake City.

Heber City is currently governed by Mayor Kelleen Potter along with City Council Members.

Within the city limits are Heber Valley, Old Mill, Daniels Canyon and J.R. Smith Elementary Schools, Timpanogos Middle School, Rocky Mountain Middle School, Wasatch High School, and Wasatch Alternative High School. An additional school in the Heber Valley is Midway Elementary School. All of these schools are part of the Wasatch County School District. Utah Valley University maintains a satellite campus just north of Heber City along the US-40 corridor.

Heber City contains five LDS stakes, as well as congregations of Southern Baptists, Catholics as part of the Diocese of Salt Lake City, and Jehovah's Witnesses.

After the Rifts
Heber City has been flooded with refugees from the ravaged kingdom of Tolkeen. Called New Tolkeen the refugees are just getting started. Led here by a rift opened by a Shifter, the people of New Tolkeen are getting started. They are rebuilding their lives here in this small city called Heber.

The romanticized New West meets the new MidWest in styles here. Although there is the occasional gunslinger or bandit raid, most of the people here are magically active. However, they took some of the artifacts from Tolkeen (see RIFTS Sedition) and started their new civilization here. It is unknown if other people who are magically active came here. They choose this spot to resettle because the Coalition will never find them here in the Western Wilderness. They are also taking a big chance here, because of the magically rich area. Fortunately, they just want to practice their magic in peace.
