“The Proposed State of Deseret”
Within a few years of coming to Utah, LDS Church leaders held a convention and wrote a constitution to set up the State of Deseret. They chose the word “Deseret” because in an ancient language it meant honeybee, which stood for industry. The boundaries of the proposed state were large, and even included San Diego, California, on the Pacific Coast. Church leaders appointed themselves to top government offices, with Brigham Young as governor. Men took their constitution and petition to Washington, D.C., to apply for statehood. The petition was turned down.
