It was one of the first American settlements in Southern California. Las Vegas and a host of smaller cities in Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Arizona also were Mormon colonies.

Young worked out city planning, water and social issues in advance, he said. Young was born June 1, 1801, in Whitingham, Vt. He grew up in New York state and converted to the Mormon church in 1832, two years after it was organized.
