American Fork is in the Wasatch Range, a region in north central Utah. It is on the north border of Utah Lake, about 30 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Oftentimes, citizens in American Fork are made fun of for saying, "American Fark" or "mount'n" (without emphasizing the t), but most of them will get frustrated when you mention this, because it doesn't actually reflect most people in the city.
