The first Americans to move into the far west were primarily not farmers but rather fur traders, explorers, and later, miners during the Gold Rush. While some settlers did engage in farming, many were drawn by the prospect of wealth and opportunity, often establishing towns and communities that catered to the demands of mining and trade. As the westward expansion continued, farming became more prominent, particularly with the establishment of homesteads and agricultural settlements.
