Huber Heights is a city in Montgomery, Miami, and Greene Counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. Huber Heights's motto is "America's largest community of brick homes." The city is named for Charles Huber, the developer that constructed a number of the homes that would later compose the city. Suburban development first began in the area in 1956. The city of Huber Heights itself was formed by the merger of the town of Little York with Wayne Township in 1981. Little York was founded in the 1800's as a farming village.
Huber Heights continued to grow afterwards by annexing surrounding unincorporated neighborhoods. Huber Heights is Dayton's second largest suburb. The current mayor is Jack Hensley.
