The Oregon Trail was not founded by a single individual but developed over time as a route utilized by various pioneers moving westward in the mid-19th century. The trail became prominent in the 1840s, largely due to the efforts of groups like the Oregon Missionaries and settlers seeking new opportunities in the Oregon Territory. Key figures, such as John C. Frémont, helped promote the trail through their explorations and reports, but no single founder can be attributed to its establishment.
The main trails to the west included the Oregon Trail, the California Trail, and the Santa Fe Trail. The Oregon Trail stretched from Missouri to the Willamette Valley in Oregon, passing through areas like Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming. The California Trail branched off from the Oregon Trail, leading to California and traversing regions such as Nevada. The Santa Fe Trail connected Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico, crossing through parts of Kansas and Colorado.

The starting point for both the Oregon Trail and the Santa Fe Trail was Independence, Missouri. This town served as a key launching point for westward expansion in the 19th century, facilitating migration to the Pacific Northwest and trade with Mexico. Independence was strategically located along the Missouri River, making it an ideal hub for pioneers and traders.
