The State of Deseret (modern pronunciation /ˌdɛzəˈrɛt/ ⓘ DEZ-ə-RET,[1] contemporaneously /dɛsiːrɛt/ dess-ee-ret, as recorded in the Deseret Alphabet spelling 𐐔𐐯𐑅𐐨𐑉𐐯𐐻)[2] was a proposed state of the United States, promoted by leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) who had founded settlements in what is today the state of Utah. A provisional state government operated for nearly two years in 1849–50, but was never recognized by the United States government. The name Deseret derives from the word for "honeybee" in the Book of Mormon.[3]
