The movement began in [[Burned-over district|western New York]] during the [[Second Great Awakening]] when Smith said that he received visions revealing a new sacred text, the [[Book of Mormon]], which he published in 1830 as a complement to the [[Bible]]. Based on the teachings of this book and other revelations, Smith founded a [[Christian primitivist]] church, called the [[Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints)|"Church of Christ]]". The Book of Mormon attracted hundreds of early followers, who later became known as "[[Mormons]]", "Latter Day Saints", or just "Saints". In 1831, Smith moved the church headquarters to [[Kirtland, Ohio]], and in 1838 changed its name to the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints".<ref name=ManuscriptsA1>{{cite book|title=Manuscript History of the Church|publisher=[[Church History Library|LDS Church Archives]]|volume=A-1|page=37}}</ref><ref name=Autobiographical>{{cite book|author-link=Dean C.

After the church in Ohio collapsed due to a financial crisis and dissensions, in 1838, Smith and the body of the church moved to Missouri. However, they were persecuted and the Latter Day Saints fled to Illinois. After [[death of Joseph Smith|Smith was killed]] in 1844, a [[succession crisis (Latter Day Saints)|succession crisis]] led to the organization splitting into several groups. The largest of these, the LDS Church, migrated under the leadership of [[Brigham Young]] to the [[Great Basin]] (now [[Utah]]) and became known for its 19th-century practice of [[Mormonism and polygamy|polygamy]]. The LDS Church [[1890 Manifesto|officially renounced]] this practice in 1890 and gradually discontinued it, resulting in [[Utah Territory]] becoming a [[U.S. state]].<ref name="o132">{{cite web | title=Polygamy and the Church: A History | website=PBS | date=2019-03-07 | url=https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/mormons-polygamy/ | access-date=2024-05-27}}</ref> This change resulted in the formation of several small [[sect]]s that sought to maintain polygamy and other 19th-century doctrines and practices, now referred to as "[[Mormon fundamentalism]]".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Hales|first=Brian C.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nIFHXwAACAAJ|title=Modern Polygamy and Mormon Fundamentalism: The Generations After the Manifesto|publisher=Greg Kofford Books|year=2006|isbn=978-1-58958-035-0}}</ref>

Other groups originating within the Latter Day Saint movement followed different paths in [[Missouri]], [[Illinois]], [[Michigan]], and [[Pennsylvania]]. For the most part, these groups rejected plural marriage and some of Smith's later teachings. The largest of these, Community of Christ (known previously as the "Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"), was formed in Illinois in 1860 by several groups uniting around Smith's son, [[Joseph Smith III]].
