Lehi is the north end of Utah County, settled in 1850 and incorporated in 1852. It grew fast as part of the tech corridor locals call Silicon Slopes: the 2020 census counted 75,907 people, up from 47,407 in 2010. For a day out, most people head to Thanksgiving Point, the nonprofit garden and museum complex that opened in 1995, or to the historic Lehi Roller Mills, which appears in the 1984 film Footloose.
