Lehi, Utah
Lehi (/ˈliːhaɪ/ LEE-hy) is a city in Utah County, Utah, United States. The population was 75,907 at the 2020 census, up from 47,407 in 2010, and it is the center of population of Utah. The rapid growth in Lehi is due, in part, to the rapid development of the tech industry region known as Silicon Slopes.
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. It was renamed Evansville in 1851 after David Evans, a local bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Other historical names include Sulphur Springs and Snow's Springs.
The settlement grew so rapidly that, in early 1852, Bishop Evans petitioned the Utah Territorial Legislature to incorporate the settlement. Lehi City was incorporated by legislative act on February 5, 1852. It was 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. The first mayor of Lehi was Silas P. Barnes, from 1853 to 1854.
The downtown area has been designated the Lehi Main Street Historic District by the National Park Service and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 26.7 square miles (69.1 km2) of which 26.3 square miles (68.2 km2) is land and 0.35 square miles (0.9 km2), or 1.28%, is water.
Lehi is part of the Provo–Orem metropolitan area.
As of the American Community Survey (ACS) Demographic and Housing Estimates of 2023, there were 90,229 people living in the city. The estimated racial makeup of the city was 81.7% European American, 0.5% African American, 0.2% Native American, 2.0% Asian, 1.5% Pacific Islander, 2.0% from other races, and 12.1% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 12.1% of the population. An estimated 50.2% of the population was male with 49.8% female. The median age as of 2023 was 26.6.
According to the 2010 Census, there were 12,402 households, out of which 61.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 78.4% were husband-wife families living together, 3.2% had a male householder with no wife present, 7.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 11.3% were non-families. 9.0% of all households were made up of individuals (living alone) and 11.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
