Six boundary changes during the 1850s and 1860s diminished the Utah Territory from its original 225,000 square feet to 85,000 square feet. These changes to the eastern, northern, and western borders were the result of political maneuvers from other territories and a general dislike of Mormons and their practice of plural marriage. Calls to completely dispose of Utah Territory lands by dividing them up among other territories lasted well into the 1870s. Continual work on the part of Utah delegates John M. Bernhisel, William H. Hooper, and George Q. Cannon, along with Brigham Young, was instrumental in retaining control of the Wasatch Front and the remaining Utah lands.
