Abstract
Cedar Hills, in Utah County, was incorporated in November 1977. The area was settled initially in the 1870s by European immigrants expanding north from Pleasant Grove to farm the bench area, but a housing development engineered in 1976 was the basis for the creation of the town. Town government works to plan development and provide services to the community. Cedar Hills grew to a third class city with a traditional form of government in 1999.
