Oregon National Historic Trail

The Oregon National Historic Trail starts in Missouri and ends in Oregon, making its way through six states. The trail is more than 2,000 miles in length, and the route was discovered to be a much easier route for families to traverse if they wanted to be amongst the first travelers to settle out West. Still, this route took 10 months to travel, so it wasn’t easy for early Americans to migrate to Oregon. With so many American settlers making their home in the region, the British ceded the territory known as Oregon Country to the United States.
