Lehi Utah Information: Known as the Pioneer City because of its early date of incorporation, Lehi is an attractive residential community based largely on farming, manufacturing, and trade. With a median age of 23.6, Lehi has the "middle-age" residents in Utah County, and with an average household size of 3.58, has smaller families than much of the county. During the last decade, Lehi experienced a phenomenal increase in population, growing from 8,475 residents in 1990 to 48,717 in 2011. Lehi City is the home of Thanksgiving Point, one of the few resort communities in the West. Thanksgiving Point boasts, among many things, the North American Museum of Ancient Life, many acres of beautiful gardens, a golf course, and a performing arts center.
Lehi was called Evansville at first by early settlers for David Evans, a pioneer. The community's name was eventually changed to Dry Creek. Later upon incorporation, the name became Lehi, because the people of Lehi (in the Book of Mormon) had frequently moved, as had the pioneers. Date of Incorporation: February 5, 1852.
Among the city's attractions are its downtown businesses, many of which are still housed in their original Old West-style buildings; the John Hutchings Museum of Natural History, which will soon be housed in the city's old Memorial Building; and Saratoga Springs, a one-time amusement park that still houses swimming and diving sites.
Thanksgiving Point is a 550 acre, non-profit attraction in Lehi, Utah that includes a championship golf course designed by Johnny Miller and recently named among the top ten new public courses in the country by Golf Magazine. The project also includes a fine-dining restaurant, bakery, soda fountain, animal park, idea gardens, nursery, gift shop emporium, flower cottage, vegetable gardens, outdoor reception facilities, fishing pond, pony rides, and much more. The Thanksgiving Point institute includes classes on gardening, cooking, crafts, and golfing.

Robinson purchased the mill in 1910, and since then it has remained in the family. It is run today by grandson R. Sherman Robinson. At the turn the century, Lehi Roller Mills was among thousands of such family-owned mills operating in the United States. Fewer than fifty remain today. High demand keeps the mill grinding around the clock, six days a week, and the mill produces some 100,000 pounds of flour each day.
