Records
/ History: |
During the period of 1876 through 1877, the Mormon migration was taking place. Many groups headed to the Little Colorado River area. One group built their community along the river’s banks. This proved to be disastrous. They found that the Little Colorado River was too difficult to control.
Eventually, they had to move. James E. Shelley and Sanford Porter Jr. discovered the area that is now Heber in 1883. This new location had a steady water source, which would make life much easier.
The town was named after Heber C. Kimball. Kimball was a chief justice of the state of Deseret, which eventually became Utah. He was also a leader in the Mormon Church.
Heber’s first post office was established in 1890.
