Faced with opposition in the eastern states, the early Mormons began to migrate to Utah in 1847. They continued to practise polygamy (or plural marriage) in Utah, until the practice was officially abandoned in 1890. However, polygamy was at all times illegal under United States law, so legally no one could practise polygamy in Utah.
