∙ 10y agoThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was officially organized in the state of New York on April 6, 1830. Although the church had many adherents at the time, only six members were recorded under the rules of incorporation. However, the rolls of the church quickly swelled as more and more people from the surrounding areas were baptized into the church.
Throughout the next fourteen years, the church found itelf moving farther and farther west, at least in part because of persecutions inflicted by hostile neighbors and occasional mob violence whenever the church congregated in any one area and began to grow in number. Major moves were undertaken to Ohio, Missouri, and eventually Illinois.
After the death of the prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum, the Latter-day Saints made a final move westward to the valley of the Great Salt Lake in modern-day Utah, beginning their settlement in July of 1847. From there, the church sent colonizing parties into surrounding territories to provide growing opportunities for the church and assist with the care and feeding of many thousands of emmigrants still flowing into the Salt Lake basin.
