History

Ausenbaugh–McElhenny House

Huber Heights' origins trace back to the now-defunct Wayne Township, which was settled in the early to mid-1800s. Wayne Township was incorporated as the City of Huber Heights on January 23, 1981. The city is named for Charles Huber, the developer who constructed a number of the houses that later constituted the city. Suburban development began in the area in 1956.[6] Huber Heights continued to grow by annexing parcels in Miami County.
