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.
In 1853, as a further part of the US's westward expansion, the US bought from Mexico a strip of land 460 miles long and 120 miles wide that stretched along the border of Mexico and the US. The intention was to provide land for a transcontinental railroad.
