Independence Missouri marks the beginning of the santa fe, Oregon and California trails. To commemorate this history, every year there is a celebration in Independence called SANTACALIGON. There is food, carnival rides, and crafts.
I know this to be fact because I grew up there, and I studied Missouri history as part of my cirriculum in school.
