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.
