The Purpose The purpose of most of these trails were to expand west. Also, some trails were use for trading purposes. These trails started to be widely used in the 1860’s. The Oregon Trail, The Santa Fe Trail, and The Overland Trail are the three major routes.

Oregon Trail (cont.) The Oregon trail cut through the states of Oregon, Idaho, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. However, if it weren’t for the trail, we wouldn’t have discovered California or Utah.

The Santa Fe Trail The Santa Fe Trail started in Independence, Missouri and ended in Santa Fe. The purpose of the trail was to travel to new parts of the country. The trail started to become most popular around the 1820’s and all the way up to the 1860’s.

Overland Trail It was established in the 1850’s and was used up until the 1860’s. Traveled between Colorado and Wyoming. This route was used for trade and travel to expand west. The route went all the way to the edge of Wyoming.
