How long after the completion of the first transcontinental railroad did ranchers begin to fence in the open range?
Ranchers began to fence in the open range shortly after the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869. By the 1880s, the practice of Fencing became more widespread as ranchers sought to protect their cattle and establish ownership over land. The introduction of barbed wire in the 1870s significantly facilitated this trend, leading to the end of the open range era by the late 19th century.
