Huber Heights
This photo is of a lock in the canal that was begun on July 21, 1825 from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Here the canal passed through an area now called Huber Heights, Ohio. Huber Heights is one of the newest incorporated cities in Montgomery County. This lock is in Carriage Hill Metro Park, one of the 5 Metro Parks in the county.
Huber Heights was incorporated in 1981 and was formally known as Wayne Township. This is where a developer name Charles Huber had a dream of building a community of house (all brick) to serve as homes for the returning veterans. Finally, starting to build in the early 1950's and by the late 1950's Huber Heights (as the development was called) had the distinction of being the largest community of all brick homes in the US. His company built 10,707 homes in this area between 1950 and 1992.
Huber Heights has grown rapidly since its beginning and now has a population of over 40,000.
Huber Heights is also home to one of the power house atheletic departments in the state. Named the Wayne Warriors they are a force to deal with in high school sports every year. They are among the few consistently excellent football teams in Ohio.
