Best Answer

Kirtland, Ohio was the first place where Church headquarters were located, although the membership did not intend on that becoming 'Zion'. Zion (meaning the holy city) was to be located near Independence, Missouri. After the Mormons were kicked out of Missouri, they attempted to establish Zion in Nauvoo, Illinois. They had to flee Illinois and moved to Salt Lake City.

This all depends on the type of Christianity. In Roman Catholicism, the Holy City is the Vatican City in Rome. It is where St. Peter's Basilica is. It is considered extremely holy because Peter, the first Pope and a disciple of Jesus, was buried there. In Orthodox Christianity, the Holy City was Constantinople or Byzantium (now Istanbul), before the Ottomans conquered it.
