The term Mormon is not the actual official name to call members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the LDS Church even holds that calling its member Mormons is incorrect usage. The Church feels that the correct term is Latter-day Saints. Before that

Mormons refer to God as "Heavenly Father."
Actually, "Mormon" is the new name. The official name of the church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This has been their official name since 1838. Prior to this they were sometimes known as the Church of Christ (1830-1834) or as the Church of Latter Day Saints (1834-1838). The title "Mormon" was a nickname given to them by their enemies, mocking them for their belief in the Book of Mormon. Mormons have since embraced the name and accept "Mormon" as an appropriate, although informal, nickname. However, Mormons still prefer to be called "Latter-day Saints" or "LDS" rather than "Mormon". Generally, it is acceptable to call the followers "Mormons", but it is not appropriate to call the church the "Mormon Church".
All of what is now Utah was inhabited by several non-Mormon native tribes for thousands of years prior to the Mormons moving in. Ogden was a small trapping and trading outpost (called Fort Bueneventura) settled two years prior to the Mormons arriving, although it wasn't much of a 'town' at the time.
