The Mormons are a religious movement founded by Joseph Smith in the 19th century in America who follow a relation Smith claims to have received from an Angel. The Mormons originally settled first in Illinois, then in Missouri until Smith was killed. His followers led by Brigham Young settled in Utah on the banks of the Great Salt Lake.
