Westward Expansion (1807-1912) The Surge West. Summary. The westward movement of the American population occurred in intermittent flurries of settlement. The first began early in the nation's history, resulting in the statehood of Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, all of which were admitted to the Union between 1791 and 1803.
That settlementâand the wild rush of pioneers into the Oklahoma Indian Territoryâconstituted the last chapter of the westward movement. By the early 1890s, a frontier had ceased to exist within the 48 continental states.
