I guess this depends on when in the late 1800's you are talking about. Many of the western states where Mormons settled were not actually states until the 1890's, they were territories.
Either way, the answer would be Utah by far. Mormons settled almost the entire state of Utah. Southern Idaho and Northern Arizona had very high concentrations of Church members, but the rest of those states did not. There were also Mormon colonies and congregations in Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Canada, Mexico, the mid-west United States, Hawaii, New York, and Europe.
Every state! There are over six million members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) living in the United States, and at least several thousand Mormons in each state. The western US has a higher concentration of Mormons than the east, and Utah has the highest concentration with about 60% of the state being practicing Mormons.
Alaska has the highest percentage of state workers compared to its population, with approximately 14% of its workforce being employed by the state government.
In 2010 the US State of Nevada had the highest male population.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") live in every state of the United States. The states with the highest percentage of church members are mostly in the western United States and include Utah, Idaho, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.To look up the Mormon population of a given state or country, follow the "Related Link" below, and click on "Country Profiles and Contacts" in the right sidebar.

which state had the highest % change in population
All states in the US are inhabited by mormons, Utah having the largest population.
The state with the third highest population in Australia is Queensland.
The "Mormons" were never given a state or made a state. The Mormons suggested a state called Deseret, but it was denied and was never made a state. The state of Utah became a state in 1896 during the administration of Grover Cleveland. The boundaries were drawn by the federal government and the name was chosen by the government as well. The population of the state was mostly Mormon, but there was a sizeable population of other religious groups as well. So, Grover Cleveland gave statehood to Utah, not to Mormons. Most Mormons at the time lived within Utah, but they did not choose the boundaries or the name.
California has the highest population
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) does not release membership statistics for any area smaller than a state. Larger cities tend to have more Mormons than smaller cities, but that is because they have more people. Mormons as a percentage of the population tend to stay about the same within most states.
