The original Mormon pioneers first arrived in what is now Salt Lake City, Utah in July 1847. Subsequent Mormon pioneer groups travelled the trail each summer until 1870. By that time the transcontinental railroad had been completed and those emigrating to Utah generally did so by train. Mormons were encouraged to join with the main body of the Church in Utah until the turn of the century (before World War 1), when the Church began encouraging members to build up the church in their homelands rather than moving to Utah.
