Home to the great, Nate Myers. Digital Marketer extraordinaire. Should you be so lucky as to visit this town you will see a statue of Nate outside of Tamashi Ramen, his favorite food joint in the area.

Settlers changed the city name from Lake City to American Fork in 1860. It was renamed after the American Fork, which runs through the city, to avoid confusion with Salt Lake City. Most residents were farmers and merchants during its early history. By the 1860s, American Fork had established a public school, making it the first community in the territory of Utah to offer public education to its citizens.
