There was not one specific date, Westward Expansion happened over a long period of time.
Eli Whitney contributed to westward expansion primarily through his invention of the cotton gin in 1793, which significantly increased the efficiency of cotton processing. This invention made cotton farming more profitable and led to a surge in plantation agriculture in the Deep South, encouraging more settlers to move westward in search of land for cotton cultivation. Additionally, Whitney's promotion of interchangeable parts in manufacturing helped to spur industrial growth, which supported the expansion and development of infrastructure necessary for westward migration.
The expansion had shaped the nation's values. Westward expansion gave the U.S its character of rugged independence.

Westward expansion
Westward expansion led to an economic "boom" in the Midwest, as new cities and markets were connected by rail and canals.
The California Gold Rush was a major factor in expansion west of the Mississippi. That westward expansion was greatly aided by the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, and passage of the Homestead Act in 1862.
