The Mormons moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois to Utah because they faced violent persecution and in some cases were kicked out of their homes or were asked to leave by the government. At the time that the Mormons arrived, Utah was only inhabited by a handful of (mostly friendly) Native American tribes and was outside the jurisdiction of the US Government, which meant that the Mormons could finally practice their religion in peace.

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.
