Steely past, Silicon future.
Named for the American Fork River, American Fork is a hybrid of suburban life and modern development. American Fork was settled in 1850 by Mormon pioneers from nearby Salt Lake City. The American Fork River provided original settlers with lush meadows for their livestock and cottonwood trees for shelter.
Long an agricultural center of the Valley, American Fork has expanded to become a premier commercial development center. Just north of the former Geneva Steel plant, its roots are in agriculture and steel production—hence the name of America Fork’s annual Summerfest—Steel Days.
The main economic driver of the community began changing with the closure of Geneva Steel in the late 80s. American Fork is now part of the thriving Silicon Slopes tech center that strides Salt Lake and Utah Counties. It is home to the Utah Valley Business Park, where several prominent technology corporations reside, as well as the fasting growing shopping district The Meadows.
American Fork Canyon is a popular year-round destination for campers, rock climbers, and recreational travelers. The Canyon also boasts some of the best autumn displays found anywhere in the country.
Great places to eat include Gourmandise, a French café and bakery off and Kitchen 88.
