The first group of Mormon pioneers left Illinois in early 1846. It took them 131 days to cross the state of Iowa. Some stayed in Iowa temporarily during the Mexican-American war, forming settlements in Mount Pisgah, Garden Grove, and Council Bluffs. Most of these did not stay for more than a year, and left the settlements as supply stations for future Mormon pioneer groups, which continued to head west on the trail until the 1860's.
After WWI, Mormon converts were encouraged to stay in their hometowns rather than move to Utah, and many Mormons began to move outside of Utah. Now (2011) there are about 25,000 Mormons in Iowa.

At the time this was tribal land belonging to the Potawatomi Indians, but the tribe gave the Mormons permission to stay there. My source is listed below under "Related Links".
