The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) was founded in Upstate New York by Joseph Smith, Jr. Over the next 15 years, the church moved throughout the East and Midwest in search of religious freedom. Joseph Smith was murdered in 1844, and in 1845 the majority of Mormons began moving further west under the direction of Brigham Young. These Mormons eventually arrived in Utah and have now become a 15.5 million member worldwide denomination.
