Cowboys filled the plains with cattle from the late 19th century, particularly during the era of the cattle drives that followed the Civil War. They drove herds from Texas to railheads in Kansas and other states, making it possible to transport beef to growing urban markets. This practice greatly contributed to the expansion of the cattle industry and the development of the American West. The iconic image of the cowboy emerged during this time, symbolizing a rugged and adventurous spirit.
