Best Answer

Brigham Young led the first group of Mormon pioneers to Utah, and over the next 30 years was the leader of the church while hundreds more pioneers travelled to Utah. Since Brigham Young died in 1877, there have been many leaders of the Mormon church. While each of these leaders have lived in Utah, they lead the entire worldwide church, not just members in Utah.
