What was life really like in the Old West? In 1890 the Census Bureau broadcast the closure of the frontier, meaning that in the west there was no apparent tracts of land without settlers. The government continued to promote the westward expansion after the Civil War. After spending nearly the entire 19th century shifting quickly west, the frontier gradually moved east, to the point where large stretches of the Great Plains have now reverted to frontier.
The frontier never closed instead it changed.
