The Santa Fe Trail was established in the early 19th century as a commercial route connecting Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its origins can be traced back to the 1821 opening of trade between the United States and Mexico after Mexico gained independence from Spain. The trail facilitated trade, allowing American merchants to exchange goods such as textiles and tools for silver, furs, and other resources from Mexico. Over time, it became a vital artery for westward expansion and cultural exchange in the region.
