The great cattle drive ended primarily due to the expansion of railroads and the establishment of barbed wire, which transformed cattle ranching and land use. Railroads provided a more efficient means of transporting cattle to markets, reducing the need for long drives. Additionally, the widespread use of barbed wire in the 1880s led to the Fencing of open ranges, restricting cattle movement and changing grazing practices. These developments marked a shift towards more settled agriculture and ranching, fundamentally altering the landscape and economy of the American West.

The first cattle drive in the United States is often attributed to the Chisholm Trail, which began in Texas and ended in Abilene, Kansas. This route became a major pathway for moving cattle to railheads for shipment to markets in the East. The drive was significant in the post-Civil War era, helping to establish the cattle industry in the American West. Abilene served as a key destination due to its location and the presence of the Kansas Pacific Railway.
