In the 1800's, people who joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) were encouraged to move from their native nations or cities to live near Church headquarters. Between 1830 and 1847, Church headquarters moved from New York to Ohio to Missouri to Illinois to Utah due to persecution and violence. The majority of Church members followed. Converts from Europe also moved to America and crossed the country to live near Church headquarters.
Church leaders asked members to stop gathering at Church headquarters around the year 1900. They are now asked to stay where they are and build up the Church there.
"The Mormons" as a Church never moved from New York to Idaho, because Idaho was never the location of Church headquarters. Individual Mormons may have done so, because farmland was generally more fertile in Idaho than in Utah.
