The Mormon Trail started in February 1846.

The Mormon Trail was never 'found'. It began being used in 1846, and followed a well used route (the same used by the Oregon and California Trails) until the turnoff into Salt Lake City. This route had been used for a long time by mountain men and explorers as well as travelling Native Americans.
The Mormon Trail was used by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Commonly called "Mormons") in their search to find religious freedom in the western United States.
The Mormon Trail is the trail that the Mormon Pioneers took from Illinois to Utah between 1845 and 1870. It was different from other trails because it was used by people seeking religious freedom rather than riches or wild living, as most other western trails were used for.
