By the close of the Civil War in 1865, cattle herds and cowboys from Texas began forging trails through Oklahoma and the Cherokee Strip to rail heads in Kansas. The most famous route was the Chisholm Trail. In the late 1880s, Caldwell, Kansas, became the final terminus for the herds as the railroads began extending their tracks farther south into the Cherokee Strip.
