Actually, no. The Oregon Trail was also known as the Oregon-California Trail that allowed farmers, settlers, and families to travel east to either Oregon or Northern California. The wagon trail that allowed cargo, freight, cattle, and settlers from the east to Mexico was the Santa Fe Trail, which traveled to Santa Fe, New Mexico and then onto Mexico.
The people on the Oregon Trail wanted to go the Oregon territory, or what is now Washington and Oregon. Why? because the letters and rumors of Oregon Territory's rich and natural beauty. The people wanted to go west for many reasons; to explore, to get free farmland, and to build homes, farms, towns, and after a wile, cities. The trail was also the fastest way to Oregon.
People thought the east was getting too crowded for there to be enough farm land.
