From National Parks to golf courses, beautiful Park City to historic Temple Square, sunny St.George to bustling Salt Lake City to tranquil Lake Powell, Utah will surprise you with its variety. Whether you love to ski or snowboard “The Greatest Snow on Earth,” to mountain bike slickrock in Moab, to take a summer white water rafting splash down Cataract Canyon, or to visit the old west, Utah is home to everyone.

A group of Mormon pioneers settled the area now known as Lehi in the fall of 1850, at a place called Dry Creek, in the northernmost part of Utah Valley, near the head of Utah Lake. The settlement grew so rapidly that in early 1852, Bishop David Evans petitioned the Utah Territorial Legislature to incorporate the settlement. Lehi City was incorporated by legislative act on February 5th, 1852. It is the sixth city incorporated in Utah.The legislature also approved a request to call the new city Lehi, after a Book of Mormon prophet of the same name. Notable contributions to Lehi’s early history include participation in such events as: (1) the Overland Stage Coach Route,which carried its passengers across the western plains. (2) the famous Pony ExpressTrail,which was used by young men on fast paced horses to carry the nation’s mail across the country, and (3) the Transcontinental Telegraph Line,which began a new era in long-distance communication.
