The trail that was popular from 1843 to 1870 and ran from Independence, Missouri, to the Willamette River Valley was the Oregon Trail.

The Oregon Trail was one of the main routes of migration by land of North America, that departed from several places in the Missouri river and arrived until the Territory of Oregon.

The five to six months of travel allowed to cross more than half of the continent and the caravans, departing from Missouri, crossed the lands of what later would be five states of the USA: Kansas (1861), Nebraska (1867), Wyoming (1890), Idaho (1890) and Oregon (1859). In addition, some of the branches of this route became the main arteries that fed settlers six other states: Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Washington and Montana.
