The Oregon Trail did not start at Indianapolis. It started at any of several "jumping off" points on the shores of the Mississippi River. Common starting places included St. Joseph, which had the furthest west train service of any trains in the 1840s. From that point travelers would start riding horses, mules, oxen and/or wagons to get to Independence and Kansas City, Missouri, on the western side of Missouri state.
The first major migration on the Oregon trail began in 1843.
