It was called the Oregon Trail, starting in Independence Missouri bringing settler to the Willamette Valley in Oregon.
The Oregon Trail did not start at Indianapolis. It started at any of several "jumping off" points on the shores of the Mississippi River. Common starting places included St. Joseph, which had the furthest west train service of any trains in the 1840s. From that point travelers would start riding horses, mules, oxen and/or wagons to get to Independence and Kansas City, Missouri, on the western side of Missouri state.
The Oregon Trail began in the early 1840s, with the most significant migration occurring in 1843 when thousands of settlers traveled westward. The trail was used by pioneers seeking new opportunities in the Oregon Territory, primarily for agriculture and settlement. The journey typically began in spring, with settlers departing from places like Independence, Missouri.
