[vague] Lehi is adjacent to the Salt River on the north, the Consolidated Canal to the south, and a portion of Arizona State Route 202 runs through the area.

[2][3] Lehi was settled in 1877 by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, under the direction of Daniel W. Jones.

Jones had been commissioned by Brigham Young to start a Mormon colony within the Salt River Valley of the Arizona Territory.

[4] The settlement party left the Utah Territory from St. George, and arrived at the site in March 1877.

Jones' invitation to local Native Americans to live with them became a point of controversy, and half of the initial colony left, moving on to found St. David, Arizona.
