Church Units and Boundaries



 * Stakes: Utah Stake (1851-1901), Alpine Stake (1901-1928), Lehi Stake (1928-)
 * Lehi Ward (1851-1903): Lehi City and surrounding settlement, generally from the Utah County boundary on the North to Utah Lake on the South, American Fork Ward on the East (possibly along what is now 1800 East), and either the Jordan River or Cedar Pass on the West.
 * Lehi 1st Ward (1903) originally included the southern third of the city, from Utah Lake to 2nd North and from Jordan River to American Fork. In 1920, when the 5th Ward was created, its eastern boundary became 1st West, the northern boundary moved to the center of the blocks between 3rd and 4th North, and the western boundary was extended to Cedar Pass.
 * Lehi 2nd Ward (1903) originally included the west-central portion of the city: south to 2nd North, west to the Jordan River, north to the Waste Ditch (near 6th North and 2nd West), and east to a line formed by the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad (near State Street) to 2nd East to 6th North to 4th East. In 1920, when the 5th Ward was created, it appears that the southern boundary was moved to the center of the blocks between 3rd and 4th North.
 * Lehi North Branch/Lehi 3rd Ward (1893) included the area northwest of the city, north of the Waste Ditch (near 6th North and 2nd West) and west of Dry Creek.
 * Lehi 4th Ward (1903) included the northeast portion of the city, east of a line formed by Dry Creek to the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad (near State Street) to 2nd East to 6th North to 4th East and North of 2nd North. In 1920, when the 5th Ward was created, the southern boundary may have been moved north to between 3rd and 4th North streets.
 * Lehi 5th Ward (1920) included the southeast quarter of the city, from Utah Lake to between 3rd and 4th North streets, and from 1st West to American Fork 2nd Ward.
