The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) began in 1830, so there was no Mormon community in 1829. The period of 1830 to 1846 is a very distinct period in Mormon history. During this time, Church headquarters and the bulk of its members moved from state to state in search of religious freedom. They moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois. Mormon settlements also began in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Nebraska. Each time they settled, they were forced out by persecution and violence. In 1847, the church headquarters moved to Utah, where it has been located ever since.
This period is also unique in Mormon history because the bulk of modern Mormon practices and doctrine stem from this period. Joseph Smith, the founder of the church, was killed in 1844. The modern church still follows the same doctrines and practices that he put in place and has made relatively few changes since that time.
