Yes. And many are still there today.
What is now the state of Utah.
Mormons travelled the Mormon trail to Utah in wagon trains from 1845 to 1869. In 1869 the transcontinental railroad was completed and many Mormons going to Utah began taking the train.
Utah has a remarkable history. Probably the most important event in the history of Utah is the settling of the area by Mormons who moved to escape religious persecution.
The group was the Mormon.
About 70,000 people over several years.
Many of what are now the Western United States were settled by "Mormons." You may be referring to Utah, however, which was the primary destination of the move west.
They really came from all over the place, but they mostly came from Nauvoo, Illinoise. But were forced to leave. Then i think they went to Missuri after Illinoise. Then after Missurie i think that was when they finally came here to Utah. And their group leader, Brigham Young, looked at the Utah Valley and said," This is the place."
The first permanent white settlement in Oregon was at Fort Astoria in 1811. The Mormons arrived in Utah in 1847, 36 years later.
"Mormons" are not a state, they are a religion. The Mormons have never been granted statehood, and doing so now would be near impossible as Mormons are scattered all over the globe and come from many different nations.The Mormons did once apply for statehood with the state of Deseret, a large area that covered much of what is now Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. This was not granted by the federal government, who instead drew the state borders we have today. Mormons are credited with postponing Utah's statehood with their practice of polygamy. Mormons abandoned polygamy in 1890, and Utah was finally granted statehood in 1896.
