The first permanent white settlers in Utah arrived in 1847. They were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called "Mormons"). Between 1847 and 1900, hundreds of thousands of Mormons from all over the United States and the world moved to Utah, where they founded the majority of the cities and towns. By the 1850's, miners, railroad workers, farmers, and merchants of other religions had moved to Utah to find employment.
