The exact time that the practice of polygamy began among the Mormons is disputed. Evidence exists that Joseph Smith knew it was God's will as early as 1831, however the revelation was not recorded until 1843. Before 1844 it was practiced by only a select few members and many members were completely unaware of it. Once the Mormons arrived in Utah in 1847, the practice became much more prevalent.
