The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS) is a breakaway Mormon fundamentalist group that arose from communities that continued to practice polygamy after the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS, Mormonism) ended support for that form of marriage in 1890. The FLDS is estimated to be the largest of the splinter Mormon groups that continue polygamous marriage. Its main population center has historically been on the Arizona-Utah border in an area called Short Creek.
