Heber

Few towns in Arizona have a history as closely tied to Mormon settlement as Heber. Mormon pioneers established the community in the 1880s, and its name honors Heber C. Kimball, an early leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Heber stands in the White Mountains country near the Mogollon Rim, amid the ponderosa-pine terrain of eastern Arizona and close to Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. State Routes 260 and 277 meet here, making the settlement a practical stop on high-country journeys. Together with neighboring Overgaard, Heber retains the feel of a small forest community rather than a resort center.
