History
Cedar Hills history: Once part of the shoreline of ancient
Lake Bonneville, Cedar Hills sits on a bench or alluvial fan
created by the changing and receding lake. It was called
such because of the many cedar trees which grew there.
Because of its location high on the hillside, the view of
the surrounding area, including Utah Lake, is commanding.
Cedar Hills is one of the new communities in Utah County,
being established as a community in 1977. It is near
Pleasant Grove and Alpine. The area was not used extensively
by the local Indian Tribes because of the dryness of the
bench, but some artifacts have been found in recent years.
In the mid-1800’s, the early settlers of the area used the
bench mostly for the grazing of livestock. A few tried
unsuccessfully to farm there.
