Brigham young established this Mormon settlement in Utah?

Answer 1

The first thing he did was he traveled west with the LDS Saints. Once in the area now considered Utah, he assigned several families to settle certain areas throughout Idaho, Utah, and Nevada. Those families would travel to those areas and work to build a thriving community. Many of those communities continue to this day. Spanish Fork and Salt Lake City are just a couple that have grown into large cities.

Answer 2

Brigham Young established EVERY 'Mormon' settlement in Utah, as well as settlements in Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, California, Canada, and Mexico. After the pioneers arrived in Salt Lake City, Brigham designed the city plot and sent others to various locations to begin settlements with the same city plan. Salt Lake City would be a manufacturing and industry center, while most other settlements had a specific economic duty as well. For example, some cities were to raise crops, some were to be ranching communties, and southern towns were to grow fruits and cotton and raise silk worms. This way, the communities could import and export with each other, and the Mormon pioneers could sustain themselves without having to pay for supplies to be brought from the east coast.
