Lethbridge has a primary school, Uniting Church and a Catholic church, a sports facility (with two football ovals and a tennis court), a town hall, a CFA, cake shop, a dressmaker, a hairdresser and a general store. The railway came to the town with the opening of the Geelong-Ballarat line in 1862,3 with the local railway station opened soon after, but today only grain and freight trains use the line.

Peter Lalor, the leader of the Eureka Stockade rebellion, hid overnight in Lethbridge while fleeing from Ballarat to Geelong in November 1854.
