About this city
Also known as: Silicon Slopes Hub
Lehi is a historic and exceptionally fast-growing city located in northern Utah County, beautifully positioned between the rugged Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, just north of Utah Lake. Founded by Mormon pioneers in 1850 and named after a Book of Mormon prophet, Lehi historically functioned as an agricultural center, notable for introducing the region's first successful sugar beet processing industry. In the 21st century, Lehi underwent a dramatic transformation, emerging as the undisputed powerhouse and anchor city of the 'Silicon Slopes' tech corridor, hosting mega-campuses of elite global technology firms.
