It took about $600.00 in their time... So you had to be VERY rich to go on the Oregon Trail.
No one "invented" it. It was a route settlers took to go to Oregon.
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.
They wanted to go to get gold.

The people on the Oregon Trail wanted to go the Oregon territory, or what is now Washington and Oregon. Why? because the letters and rumors of Oregon Territory's rich and natural beauty. The people wanted to go west for many reasons; to explore, to get free farmland, and to build homes, farms, towns, and after a wile, cities. The trail was also the fastest way to Oregon.
