Far West

In August 1836, Saints began to establish a stake of Zion in a place they called Far West.  They were forced to abandon the place about two years later.  After they left, the members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and a few others returned and dedicated a temple site there, in obedience to a commandment from the Lord. (D&C 115:11, 118:5)
