Most settlers heading west during the westward expansion of the United States used the Oregon Trail. This trail, stretching about 2,170 miles from Missouri to Oregon's Willamette Valley, became a primary route for thousands of pioneers in the mid-1800s. It offered access to fertile land and new opportunities, making it a popular choice for families seeking a better life. Other trails, like the California Trail, branched off from the Oregon Trail for those seeking gold and new prospects in California.
The California Trail began to be used in the mid-1840s, with its most significant use occurring during the California Gold Rush, which started in 1849. The trail was established as a route for settlers and prospectors traveling to California in search of gold and new opportunities. It connected with the Oregon Trail and extended from the Missouri River to various destinations in California.
