If you are referring to the Mormon gathering in Utah, then most recently Missouri and Illinois, although there were Mormons also coming from England and many other places. Later, when the church was larger, the church started branches in other states and countries rather than only gathering in one area.
Originally the church was organized in Fayette, NY.

Why did the Mormons resist the Utah Territory becoming a state?
Mormons saw both pros and cons for Utah Territory becoming a recognized state. They were not happy with the extra government control that would come from being a state - Mormons had established Utah's government, political system, legal system, laws, and education system, but much of this would have to be changed or done away with if they were granted statehood. However, Mormons in Utah also wanted to have a say in national politics, vote for president, have representatives in congress, etc. Some Mormons resisted Utah territory becoming a state, but most actually supported the idea. After all, Mormons had been trying to be accepted as a state for decades with their proposed state of Deseret.
How long did it take the Mormons to get statehood?
"Mormons" are not a state, they are a religion. The Mormons have never been granted statehood, and doing so now would be near impossible as Mormons are scattered all over the globe and come from many different nations.The Mormons did once apply for statehood with the state of Deseret, a large area that covered much of what is now Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. This was not granted by the federal government, who instead drew the state borders we have today. Mormons are credited with postponing Utah's statehood with their practice of polygamy. Mormons abandoned polygamy in 1890, and Utah was finally granted statehood in 1896.
Which state is called the Mormon state?
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.

Who was president that gave statehood to Mormons?
The "Mormons" were never given a state or made a state. The Mormons suggested a state called Deseret, but it was denied and was never made a state. The state of Utah became a state in 1896 during the administration of Grover Cleveland. The boundaries were drawn by the federal government and the name was chosen by the government as well. The population of the state was mostly Mormon, but there was a sizeable population of other religious groups as well. So, Grover Cleveland gave statehood to Utah, not to Mormons. Most Mormons at the time lived within Utah, but they did not choose the boundaries or the name.
