Between 1839 and 1846, most of the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) lived in or near Nauvoo, Illinois. They intended to establish Nauvoo as a religious community, but were asked to leave by the local government in 1845, after their prophet, Joseph Smith, was murdered. This is because the government could not stop non-Mormon locals from raiding Nauvoo and neighboring Mormon settlements. It is an important place in Mormon history because it is the first place where they were able to build the first 'full service' Mormon temple. A previous one in Kirtland, Ohio was used for meetings but Nauvoo had the first temple dedicated to performing ordinances such as baptism and marriage. At it's peak, Nauvoo was the second largest city in Illinois (behind Chicago) and with it's strategic location on the Mississippi River, was a popular stopping point for tourists and merchants. Entire books have been written about this period, so it would be impossible to describe the history of the community here.
