Best Answer

The Mormons had intended on settling an area much larger than modern-day Utah and naming it Deseret. However, the federal government didn't want the Mormons having such a large territory, so they cut it down and renamed it Utah.

What did the Mormons have to do before Utah could be proclaimed a state?

Some say that the Mormons had to denounce polygamy before Utah became a state.

Either way, Mormons arrived there in 1847, Utah became a territory in 1850, Mormons ended polygamy in 1890, and Utah became a state in 1896.
