Church headquarters and members voluntarily left New York in 1831 to move to Ohio. This was because there was a large increase in converts from Ohio and it made more sense to move there then have all the converts travel to New York for meetings. This is the only place they left voluntarily, they were later forced out of Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois.
Mormons
Palmyra, New York on April 6th, 1830.
Mormons immigrating to the United States from other countries (mostly Europe) had to check in at the New York immigration offices just like any other immigrant. It was and is the law that you must register with authorities when you move to a new country.
Mormons live everywhere around the USA and also around the world - so it would be stranger if there wouldn't be LDS in NY
The Mormons went from Palmyra, NY to Kirtland, OH to Navoo, IL to Salt Lake City, UT
Mormonism originated in New York. After a decade of preparation, which mostly took place in New York, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was officially founded on April 6, 1830 in Fayette, New York.

Mormons hoped to find a place where they could practice their religion freely without persecution. Between 1831 and 1847, they moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois and finally to Utah in search of religious freedom.
The Mormons were receiving massive persecution, being moved from New York to Kirtland, to eventually Utah. So basically, they wanted a place to worship their religion in peace
Not sure of what you mean by 'PASS'. It doesn't fit with the question.
The name of "New York" was established by Great Britain after they forced the Dutch to leave in 1664. Previously the sole occupants of what is now New York City and the US State of New York were Native American tribes.
Utah. There are 77,000 baptized members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) in New York, and 1,885,000 in Utah.
