Several factors promoted the settlement of the West, including the promise of economic opportunities through agriculture, mining, and ranching. The Homestead Act of 1862 encouraged settlement by offering land at little or no cost to those willing to cultivate it. Additionally, the expansion of the railroad network facilitated transportation and access to remote areas, making it easier for settlers to move westward. Government policies and the allure of a new start also played significant roles in attracting diverse populations to the region.
