This is a puzzle that many archaeologists and historians are still trying to work out. The stones were moved before the invention of the wheel, prior to which the main method of transporting hugely heavy weights was on log rollers. This is the only way that anyone can yet think of as to how they got from Wales to where they are now, but if so, it must have taken a massive amount of effort, planning and determination on the part of the builders of Stonehenge.
The main structure dates from about 2000BC but the circle of blue stones it is believed were placed there a 1000 years ealier (c.3000BC). As for the people all you can say for sure it were the neolithic people living in southern England at the time. I don't think there were any aliens involved as some will have us believe. Those who like to belittle the acheivements of our ancestors.

Stonehenge is enclosed within a circular ditch 300 ft in diameter. Stones are arranged in four series within the circle. The outermost is a circle of sandstones about 13.5 ft high connected by lintels. The second is a circle of blue-stones. The third is horseshoe shaped. While the innermost is ovoid. Within the ovoid lies the Altar Stone. For more information please look at the related link.

Blue stones are named as such because of their natural blue coloration. This color can be caused by various factors, such as the presence of minerals like lazurite in lapis lazuli or copper in turquoise. The characteristic hue of blue stones sets them apart from other gemstones.
