Comment on When a place is called " Heights", what does "heights" mean/refer to?

Usually the community is built on a hill or a mountain. Often times the highest part of the town, geographically. The incline may be gradual or subtle, so you may not notice that it’s taller than the rest of the area.

Similarly when streets (in the US) are named High St., it’s literally the highest street in town.
