The territory of Utah before it became a state covered parts of Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming.
One colony outside of Utah, that I am aware of is a colony that the Mormons established within Las Vegas. Their in Las Vegas is an old Mormon fort where the first inhabitants attempted to colonize the rugged and inhospitable desert area of Nevada.

Does the Mormon church run the state of 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.

Is Salt Lake City where most American Mormons live?
I live in salt lake and would say it has the largest concentration of mormans as percentage of total population. But most mormans in the US live out of slc. Out of utah in fact. ---------------- No, definately not. While Salt Lake City is the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), most American Mormons live outside of Utah. (There are 6,060,000 baptized Mormons in the United States, and 1,884,000 of those live in Utah.) So, less than 1/3 of American Mormons live in Utah. Most Mormons in Utah live outside of Salt Lake City. The city itself is actually quite liberal and diverse, and the homes are small and expensive compared to the rest of the state. The suburbs surrounding Salt Lake City are where the majority of Mormons in Utah live. Some of the suburbs are more than 90% Mormon. About 80,000 of the 6,060,000 American Mormons live in Salt Lake City, which is just over 1.3%.
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. This may or may not be true, as the plans to make Utah a state were in action before the Church officially denounced polygamy. 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.
