The Oregon trail began as a series of interconnected trails used by the Native Americans, and then was expanded by fur traders. As a pioneer trail, it was first used in 1836 by emigrants Marcus and Narcissa Whitman. The first large group of between 800 and 1000 pioneers used the trail in 1843. It was the most important route for pioneers until 1869, when the first transcontinental railroad was completed, but it continued to be used until 1884, when the railroad was completed from Portland, Oregon to the Union Pacific railroad in Wyoming.
The route of the Oregon Trail began to be scouted out as early as 1823 by fur traders and explorers. The trail began to be regularly used by fur traders, missionaries, and military expeditions during the 1830s. At the same time, small groups of individuals and the occasional family attempted to follow the trail, and some succeeded in arriving at Fort Vancouver in Washington.
The majority of the migrations occurred between the years of 1846 and 1869.
