Pioneer homesteaders started ranches near the Humboldt River after seeing good grazing lands on their journeys along the California Trail. Mormon pioneers settled in southeastern Nevada for free land and to escape religious persecution elsewhere. Miners came in great numbers for the sliver rush and started a boom-and-bust pattern of settlement across the territory. The Transcontinental Railroad helped open up the northern part of the state to resource industries such as grazing, mining, and logging. Water resources at springs and streams were claimed early in competition for the scarce resources.

How long did it take the Mormons to get statehood?
"Mormons" are not a state, they are a religion. The Mormons have never been granted statehood, and doing so now would be near impossible as Mormons are scattered all over the globe and come from many different nations.The Mormons did once apply for statehood with the state of Deseret, a large area that covered much of what is now Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. This was not granted by the federal government, who instead drew the state borders we have today. Mormons are credited with postponing Utah's statehood with their practice of polygamy. Mormons abandoned polygamy in 1890, and Utah was finally granted statehood in 1896.
