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. Wayne Township incorporated as the City of Huber Heights in 1980. Huber Heights continued to grow afterwards by annexing parcels in Miami and Greene Counties. Huber Heights is the second largest suburb in the Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area (behind Kettering). The current mayor is Jack Hensley. The population was 38,212 at the 2000 census. The community was named for developer Charles Huber.
The majority of Huber Heights is located in Montgomery County while the city has recently annexed into Miami County. One small parcel of the city is located in Greene County.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 21.1 square miles (54.7 km²), of which, 21.0 square miles (54.5 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.2 km²) of it (0.23%) is water.
The city developed northeast of Dayton on land between the Great Miami River and the Mad River. State Routes 202 (Old Troy Pike) and 201 (Brandt Pike) serve as the main north-south arteries, while Executive Blvd., Interstate 70, Taylorsville, Chambersburg, and Fishburg Roads serve as the main east-west arteries. The bulk of the city lies between Needmore Road to the south and Interstate 70 to the North. Recent development has expanded the boundaries of the city north into Miami County, Ohio near National Road.
