The Latter Day Saints or Mormons.I really think it was Mormons. I am doing a assiment for my schoool and that fits into what i need.it could be either but that's just my oppinionIn 1844 the Mormons followed Brigham Young to what would become the Utah Territory.
Utah was settled by Mormons.
Mormons founded Salt Lake City, Utah, the capital of Utah. Actually, they founded the whole state of Utah...
The first Mormons arrived to settle in the Great Salt Lake on July 24, 1847.
Yes. Before this there had been mountain men, fur trappers, explorers, etc, but most believed that it would be impossible to permanently settle in the area because of the lack of resources.
Brigham Young became president of the Mormon church when Joseph Smith died. The Mormons needed a safe place to practice their religion. The Mormons had been kicked out of every other place they had tried to settle. At the time, Utah was a part of Mexico, and they wanted to escape the United States government. Also, before Joseph Smith died he told Brigham that the Saints would eventually have to move west to the Rocky Mountains. Because every where else that Mormons tried to settle were chased out and abused. So the Mormons went west to seek a place where they could practice their religion without being provoked.
