There is no "Mormon state". There are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) in every state. Church headquarters is located in Salt Lake City, Utah and approximately 10% of all Mormons live in Utah.
Mormon Station State Historic Park was created in 1955.
The state of Deseret, proposed by Mormon pioneers, covered much the area that is now Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, and Arizona. "Mormon" is not a language, so deseret is not 'Mormon' for honeybee. Deseret is one of the few non-English words found in the Book of Mormon, where it is defined as honeybee.
Old Las Vegas Mormon State Historic Park was created in 1991.
Utah wich is also nicknamed the Mormon state.
Nine western states had portions of their state in the Mormon Provisional State of Deseret. Washington and Montana were not. Therefore 41 states were not part of the Provisional State of Deseret.
Most pioneers set off on the Mormon trail from either Illinois or Missouri.
While no official state nickname is the "Mormon State", Utah is sometimes called the Mormon state because Mormons settled it and the majority of residents (60%) are practicing Mormons. While Mormons live in all states and almost all countries, about 10% of the 14.5 million Mormons worldwide live in Utah.
No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not run the state of Utah. The Government of the State of Utah runs the state of Utah. Theocratic governments are not allowed within the United States. About 60-70% of the state-level politicians in Utah are members of the Mormon church, which is simply a reflection of the fact that about 65% of the residents of Utah are practicing Mormons.
The Mormon Church banned polygamy in 1890, and Utah was admitted as a state in 1896. This wasn't the only condition to Utah's statehood, but it was a factor.
