Cows, cowboys, wranglers and Native Americans all used the trail between Texas and Abilene beginning in 1867 as a cattle trail. The route is named for Jesse Chisholm who used existing Indian routes which generally follow the Current US Highway 81 across Oklahoma from the Red River to Kansas. Chisholm established a series of trading post in Oklahoma which supplied the route although he never used the trail himself to drive cattle to market.
