The Santa Fe Trail was a historic trade route that connected Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico. It served as a vital path for immigrants and traders moving westward during the 19th century, particularly from the 1820s to the 1880s. Immigrants along this route sought new opportunities, land, and economic prospects in the burgeoning territories of the Southwest. Ultimately, the trail facilitated not only commerce but also the westward expansion of the United States.
