Mormon pioneers settled hundreds of cities in the Western US, Canada, and Mexico. Most of the cities in Utah, southern Idaho, northern Arizona, and parts of Nevada, California, Wyoming, Alberta (Canada), Chihuahua (Mexico), Missouri, and Illinois were settled by Mormons. They also settled cities in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Ohio.
A "Mormon Settlement" is a term generally given to towns and communities that were first colonized my the Mormons in the west. Among the most famous of these include: Salt Lake City Utah, and Las Vegas Nevada.
The Mormon settlement and the gold rush led to escape of the church and other massacre.
They took some of the 'wild' out of the west and set up the first settlement in the west based around religion rather than mining, lumber, or fur trapping.
Maybe you are thinking of the Great Salt Lake, which is a large saltwater lake just west of Salt Lake City, where the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) is located.
Do you mean the newest city which was settled by Mormons? The majority of the cities in Utah, southern Idaho, and northern Arizona, along with many in eastern Nevada, southern Canada, and northern Mexico, were settled by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) and majority of the population of these cities has remained mostly Mormon. It would be impossible to say which of these is the most recently founded. Salt Lake City, Utah can be considered the oldest remaining Mormon Settlement, although less than 50% of the city itself is a practicing Mormon. The majority of the other cities in Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, Canada, and Mexico were settled by Mormon pioneers between 1847 and 1900. These include small towns (such as Cardston in Alberta, Canada and Colonia Juarez in Chihuahua, Mexico) and large cities, like Las Vegas, Nevada. There is no such thing as a "Mormon Settlement" today. Since the early 1900's, the Church has encouraged it's members and converts to build up the Church in their local communities rather than gather to the west. With the huge influx of people moving to the west, there is no one city or settlement that is 100% Mormon. Utah is the state with the highest Mormon population, with about 50% being practicing Mormons. Mormons gladly accept the diversity of religions and cultures moving to the west, and most Mormons would rather not live in an insular "100% Mormon" society.
West Settlement Methodist Church was created in 1832.

The Mormon Trail was the route, but it did travel on the Oregon trial too. :)
Many Native Americans were killed and displaced during the settlement of Caucasians in the west.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) traveled west on the Mormon Trail to find a place where they could practice their religion in peace.
The Settlement of the west was aegument by slavery in the UNITED STATES and the had very bad gold.... the settlement of the west added to the argument of the slavery because they didnt know to make the west a slave state or not because they wanted to keep them equal
The Mormon Trail got it's name because it was used by tens of thousands of Mormon pioneers travelling west to find religious freedom.
