Salt Lake City
The link between the Mormons and Salt Lake City is that it was founded by Brigham Young and his followers, who were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), also known as Mormons. The Mormons settled in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 seeking religious freedom and established Salt Lake City as their new headquarters. Today, Salt Lake City remains the global headquarters of the LDS Church and is considered a significant cultural and historical center for Mormons worldwide.
