The Great Western Cattle Trail drives occurred primarily during the late 19th century, as cattle ranchers in Texas sought to transport their herds to northern markets. Following the Civil War, an increased demand for beef and the expansion of railroads fueled these drives, with cowboys herding cattle along established routes from Texas through Oklahoma and into Kansas. The trail offered a pathway through open range land, allowing for the movement of thousands of cattle while avoiding barbed wire fences and settled farmland. These drives played a significant role in shaping the cattle industry and the American West.

The Great Western Cattle Trail stretched approximately 1,500 miles from southern Texas to railheads in Kansas, particularly in the areas of Abilene and Dodge City. Established in the late 1800s, it was a major route for cattle drives, facilitating the movement of cattle to markets in the north. The trail played a significant role in the development of the cattle industry in the United States.

The big major cattle drives ended around the early 1900s, when the railroads became more and more accessible for ranchers to herd their cattle to. Then came the engine-powered trucks that could be brought directly to the ranches to haul cattle away to the rail station. When that began, then that was officially when the cattle drives ended.
