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.
