In the first year of it's organization, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormons") moved it's headquarters from Palmyra, New York to Kirtland, Ohio. This is because missionaries sent to Kirtland had converted so many that there were more members in Kirtland than in Palmyra.
The main body of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) moved from New York to Ohio in 1831, where Church headquarters was located until 1838. Many groups moved from Ohio to Missouri between 1832 and 1838, when an extermination order forced them from Missouri as well. In 1838 to 1845, most Mormons and Church headquarters was located in Illinois. After their prophet was killed in 1844, the local government asked the Mormons to leave in order to avoid further violence. They left in 1845, stayed several months to prepare and gather supplies in Nebraska, and moved on to Utah in 1847.
Each move the Mormons made was in search of a place where they could practice their religion in peace. Each place they went they were hated, persecuted, even robbed and sometimes killed in an effort to get them to leave.

Why did the mormons leave New York who was the founder pf their religion and what happended to him?
The Mormons left New York only a year after the church was founded there. This was due to two reasons. First, they weren't being treated very well. Second, a large group had converted near Kirtland Ohio. There were so many converts that more Mormons lived in Kirtland than in New York. Church leadership decided it would be best to move there and encouraged members to come along so that everyone could be together. Some small congregations continued in New York for several years. Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) believe that Jesus Christ founded their church through a modern prophet, Joseph Smith. He and his brother were shot and killed in Carthage, Illinois in June 1844. Check out the "Related Links" to learn more about Mormons, Joseph Smith, and the founding of the church.
