Originally settled by Mormon pioneers, the city has been known as Sulphur Springs, Snow’s Springs, Dry Creek, and Evansville. It was incorporated as Lehi City in 1852. The Overland Stagecoach Route, the Pony Express Trail, and the Transcontinental Telegraph all passed through or near Lehi during the peak of their use. 

Lehi Roller Mills was immortalized in the 1984 film Footloose as Kevin Bacon's workplace and site of the dance.
