PROFESSIONAL AIR DUCT CLEANING IN HIGHLAND, UTAH

Highland, Utah, is a picturesque community nestled at the mouth of American Fork Canyon, perched on the high bench above American Fork. Established in 1855 by early Mormon settlers, Highland was initially known as “The Grove” due to its lush tree cover. The area, which is part of a larger geological feature created by Lake Bonneville about 10,075 years ago, is bordered by American Fork Creek to the east, Dry Creek from Alpine Canyon to the west, the foothills to the north, and American Fork and Lehi to the south. As Lake Bonneville reached its highest level, approximately 5,200 feet above sea level, it overflowed into the Snake River drainage, carving deeper channels and lowering the lake level to around 4,800 feet. This geological process led to the formation of the “highland bench,” an elevated area from which the community takes its name. Originally referred to in early writings as “the upper bench,” “the bench,” or “the highland bench,” Highland was formally recognized as a distinct precinct in the 1900 census, although it was already a voting district by 1893. Known for its brisk north winds, high snowdrifts in winter, and cool canyon breezes in summer, Highland remains a beloved place for many who have lived there, capturing a unique blend of historical charm and natural beauty.
