Lemuel was a Lamanite city whose people were converted to the Lord during the preaching of the sons of Mosiah, between about 90 and 77 B.C. It is named in a list of Lamanite lands and cities whose inhabitants were converted, alongside the lands of Ishmael, Middoni, Shilom, and Shemlon, the city of Nephi, and the city of Shimnilom (Alma 23:9-13). These converts laid down their weapons of war and took the name Anti-Nephi-Lehies, by which they were thereafter known instead of Lamanites (Alma 23:13, 16-17).
The record names Lemuel only in this list and gives no description of its size, location, or later history (Alma 23:12).
