Neighborhood Description Situated on the horseshoe bend of the Mississippi, Nauvoo is nearly surrounded by the river. The Sac and Fox Indians settled in the area first. Later Captain James White traded two hundred sacks of corn for the Indians' vast acreage. Captain White established a fur-trading village on the banks of the river. In 1839 Joseph Smith and his followers, the Mormons, settled in this area after they were forced out of Missouri by religious persecution. The Mormons were granted a very liberal charter for their city which they named Nauvoo. Within three years Nauvoo was one of the largest cities in Illinois and the tenth largest in the United States. Nauvoo was famous for its beautiful homes, its many fine shops and its magnificent Temple on the bluff overlooking the city and the river. Soon internal dissention, religious antagonism and the fear of the political power of the Mormons exploded into a fury. In 1844 Joseph Smith and his brother were assassinated and the Mormons were forced to evacuate the city in 1846. The burning of the Temple in 1846 was the last recorded act of anti-Mormonism.
