The earliest traces of the town are from the Roman age. It was probably an inhabited settlement, which is also proved by the proximity of the Amber Road. Lenti was first mentioned in 1237 as "Nemith". However, the castle built beside the settlement at the beginning of the 13th century had more importance. Lenti was elevated to town status in 1978.
