Explorers and fur traders first traced the course of the Oregon Trail. In 1805, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark traveled on a western section of the route in the region of the Snake and Columbia rivers. Trader Robert Stuart also used the trail while returning from Fort Astoria. Benjamin Bonneville is credited with taking the first wagons through South Pass in the 1830's. Nathaniel J. Wyeth also led companies over the trail. John C. Fremont surveyed a portion of the route in 1842 for the United States Army. http://www.worldbookonline.com/advanced/article?id=ar405360&st=oregon+trail---my source

The wagon trail that allowed cargo, freight, cattle, and settlers from the east to Mexico was the Santa Fe Trail, which traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico and then onto Mexico.
