The Mormons settled in the Great Basin primarily to find a safe haven where they could practice their religion without persecution. After facing significant hostility and violence in the Eastern United States, they were led by Brigham Young to the remote and arid region in present-day Utah in 1847. The isolation of the Great Basin offered them the opportunity to establish their own community and build a society based on their beliefs. Additionally, the area provided land for agriculture and resources for self-sufficiency.
