Today, some historians consider the Chisholm Trail to have started at the Rio Grande in Texas or at San Antonio, Texas. From 1867 to 1871, the trail ended in Abilene, Kansas. Later, Newton, Kansas, and Wichita, Kansas, each served as the end of the trail. From 1883 to 1887, the end of the trail was Caldwell, Kansas. Ellsworth, Kansas, is also considered a major influence of the trail.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisholm_Trail#Route Route of the Chisholm Trail]</ref> | Today, some historians consider the Chisholm Trail to have started at the Rio Grande in Texas or at San Antonio, Texas.
