Named after Jesse Chisholm, it is said to have started at either the Rio Grande in Texas or at San Antonio, Texas.
After the Civil War, Jesse Chisholm established a route from South Texas to Abilene, Kansas, which became known as the Chisholm Trail. The trail crossed Brushy Creek at the infamous 'round rock,' which is the origin of the name of the city.Literally after a round rock in a creek.
The 600-mile Chisholm Trail was used extensively until 1871. Illinois cattle buyer Joseph G. McCoy laid out the trail along an old trade path initially developed by merchant Jesse Chisholm. It ran north from San Antonio to Fort Worth, Texas, through Oklahoma and ended at Abilene, Kansas.
The Chisholm Trail was a trail that was used to drive cattle overland from ranches in Texas to Kansas rail heads during the late 19th century. The trail is named for Jesse Chisholm, who had built several trading posts in what is now western Oklahoma.
The Chisholm Trail was important because it is how cattle were driven from Texas to Kansas before the railroad expanded. It was the main route ranchers used and it allowed them to get beef to the Northeast and the sale of cattle helped Texas get out of the poverty left over from the Civil War.

The Chisholm Trail started from Laredo on the Rio Grande. It went north near San Antonio, Temple, Waco, Fort Worth, through Oklahoma and on to Abilene Kansas. There were a number of minor trails leading to the Chisholm trail. Since the land south of San Antonio is desert, that area did not support very many cows. Some writers consider that the trail began at San Antonio.
Cows, cowboys, wranglers and Native Americans all used the trail between Texas and Abilene beginning in 1867 as a cattle trail. The route is named for Jesse Chisholm who used existing Indian routes which generally follow the Current US Highway 81 across Oklahoma from the Red River to Kansas. Chisholm established a series of trading post in Oklahoma which supplied the route although he never used the trail himself to drive cattle to market.
