During the 1840s, settlers poured into the Oregon Territory after traveling the length of the Oregon Trail. This route, which extended over 2,000 miles from Missouri to the Pacific Northwest, was heavily used by pioneers seeking new opportunities and land. The migration was part of the larger westward expansion movement in the United States during that time. The promise of fertile land and a better life motivated many families to undertake the challenging journey.
