Between 1760 and 1810, it is estimated that several hundred thousand migrants crossed through the Cumberland Gap on their way westward. The exact number of migrants is difficult to pinpoint, as records from that time are not comprehensive. However, the Cumberland Gap served as a key passageway for those moving into the western territories of what would become Kentucky, Tennessee, and beyond. The Gap was an essential corridor in the westward expansion of the United States during this period.
