Lehi, originally known as Camp Utah, was the first permanent Mormon settlement in southern Arizona. Its settlers later founded two nearby settlements into which Lehi was eventually incorporated--the City of Mesa and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. Arriving in 1877 under the colorful leadership of Daniel Webster Jones and despite many challenges with climate, Native Americans, and the United Order, Lehi settlers eventually formed a successful community and a cooperative relationship with local Native Americans.
