Why did the Mormons leave New York and eventually settle in Salt Lake City Utah?
In short, the purpose of emmigrating was to find a safe place to practice their religion. The Latter-day Saints (Mormons) were subject to a great deal of persecution, and even mob attacks and murders, wherever they settled -- initially in New York, then Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. The governor of Missouri even issued an extermination order authorizing the murder of Mormons in the state. After the murder of their prophet and president in 1844, the Mormons emigrated along the Mormon Trail to the valley of the Great Salt Lake, which was mostly uninhabited by anyone, and began to settle the territory there.

What Great Lake did Mormons settle near?
Early Mormons began a settlement called Voree (in what is now the city of Burlington) in Wisconsin, near Lake Michigan. This group eventually became cut off from the main body of the Church (largely because of their distance from Church headquarters) and has now become a separate Church. Ironically, they share the official name of the Church, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints", but are not connected with the 13 million member Church based in Salt Lake City. Members of this group are often called "Strangite Mormons". Or, perhaps you are meaning the other great lake... the Great Salt Lake in Salt Lake City, that the main body of Mormons settled, and are currently based, near. (You can learn more about the Strangite and the mainstream Mormon Church from the "Related Links" below.)
