Cattle drives boomed during the late 1800s primarily due to the growing demand for beef in the rapidly industrializing Eastern United States. The expansion of railroads facilitated the transportation of cattle from Texas and other Western regions to meatpacking centers, making it economically viable. Additionally, the open range and vast lands available for grazing allowed ranchers to raise large herds, further fueling the cattle industry. This period also marked the rise of iconic cowboy culture, which became closely associated with cattle drives.
