The first cattle trail that ran from San Antonio to Abilene was known as the Chisholm Trail. Established in the late 1860s, it became a major route for cattle drives, allowing ranchers to transport their cattle to railheads in Abilene, Kansas, where they could be shipped to markets in the east. The trail played a significant role in the cattle industry and the expansion of the American West.
