When did the pioneers come to utah?

Answer 1

Advance scouts for the first Mormon wagon train entered the Salt Lake Valley July 23, 1847. That means they were probably in what is now Utah proper for a week or two before that. Brigham Young, the Mormon leader, first looked out on the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847, and July 24 is celebrated in Utah as "Pioneer Day."

Answer 2

"When Brigham Young and 3,000 Mormons set out for Utah on February 4, 1846, expedition leaders expected to reach their goal by the coming winter. But unforeseen difficulties forced the Mormons to abandon their original schedule. The journey was split into two sections: Nauvoo to Omaha, Nebraska in 1846; and, Omaha to the Salt Lake Valley of Utah in 1847."

The first missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints arrived in Texas in 1849. Between then and 1857, several hundred converts moved from Texas to Utah. By 1898, there was a Mormon colony in Kelsey, Texas, composed of 300 members.

Answer 4

Short answer they never did. They started here.

Mormonism began with Joseph Smith Jr. who was born on Dec. 23, 1805, in Vermont. He was the fourth child of Lucy and Joseph Smith. Joseph senior was known as a money digger and sought after buried treasure, particularly that of Captain Kidd. His mother was highly superstitious.

Joseph Smith Jr. stated that he was disturbed by all the different denominations of Christianity and wondered which was true. In 1820, when he was 14, he went Into the Woods to pray concerning this and allegedly God the Father and Jesus appeared to him and told him not to join any of the denominational churches.

Three years later, on Sept. 21, 1823, when he was 17 years old, an angel called Moroni, who was supposed to be the son of Mormon, the leader of the people called the Nephites who had lived in the Americas, appeared to him and told him that he had been chosen to translate the Book of Mormon which was compiled by Moroni's father around the 4th century. The book was written on golden plates hidden near where Joseph was then living in Palmyra, New York. Joseph Smith said that on Sept. 22, 1827 he received the plates and the angel Moroni instructed him to begin the translation process. The translation was finally published in 1830 as the Book of Mormon. Joseph claimed that during this translation process, John the Baptist appeared to him and ordained him to accomplish the divine work of restoring the true church by preaching the true gospel which, allegedly, had been lost from the earth.
