Ranchers and farmers followed, drawn by the fertile valleys and grazing land available in certain areas. This influx of settlers contributed to the economic development and population growth of the region.

The arrival of miners, cattle ranchers, and homesteaders in the West often led to conflicts over land use and resources. Miners disrupted the land with their operations, which could harm agricultural land and water sources. Cattle ranchers and homesteaders frequently clashed over grazing rights and land ownership, leading to tensions and sometimes violent confrontations. Additionally, the influx of settlers contributed to the displacement of Indigenous peoples, further complicating the region's social dynamics.
On the great plains, the homes of settlers were called homesteads. These types of people were farmers, cowboys, miners and railroad workers. Also ranchers and single workers settled here.
