The Mormons trekked to Utah in wagons and handcarts, through the prairies and mountain passes. When they finally got to the Salt Lake Valley, they decided to stop, even thought there was nothing but a few trees and the salt water. And they prospered and farmed and brought in trees and lots of other great stuff! :)

While most Mormon pioneers were not accustomed to living in the 'wild west', they were able to survive and thrive through effective organization, hard work, and faith. Once they arrived in the area, groups were formed for specific tasks - planting crops or building homes, for example. They had to cooperate and work together in order to survive.

Most of the cities and towns in modern Utah, southern Idaho, and northern Arizona were founded by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church).

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded in New York. Church headquarters were then moved to Ohio, then Missouri, then Illinois, and finally Utah. All the while, Church membership was expanding by missionary work. The 13.5 million members of the Church now reside and hold services in every state and nearly every country, with over a million of them gathering in Utah to be near the headquarters of the Church.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began in New York, then moved to Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. When the Church's headquarters were in the midwest, settlements were also established in Michigan, Iowa, and Nebraska. Missionaries were also sent to Europe, Canada, and the islands of the Pacific at this time, establishing settlements and congregations there.

Once the Church headquarters moved to Utah, settlements were created in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, California, Canada, and Mexico.

Church members and congregations are now located in every state and nearly every nation of the world, with the concept of a "Mormon Settlement" nearly extinct. Modern Church members live in regular neighborhoods, not closed settlements or societies.

They also established settlements in Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and Nebraska, although most of these settlements have long since been abandoned.

How did Mormons view missiourians?

Early Mormons had differing opinions about the Missourians. At first they were hopeful and felt that Missouri was the place that they should settle. Then many Missourians began to be hostile toward the Mormons, which caused most Mormons to feel that the Missourians were unaccepting and intolerant. As time went on, the Missourians became violent and forced the Mormons to flee the state by an Extermination Order, which made Mormons further dislike Missourians. The Mormon Extermination Order was withdrawn in the 1970's and today there are over 60,000 Mormons living in Missouri.
