In 1971, Carleton College's history major in Minnesota North Field and Don Rawitsch, a senior educational background, taught the eighth grade history class as a student teacher at Bryant Middle School. Rawitch and his roommate, Carl He's classmates Bill Heinemann and Paul Dillenberger decided to make a game for school computers. They understood the basics of the game in two weeks, after they showed the game, they were out of the door for the semester and left a chance after school. At the end of the academic year, Rawitsch deleted the program from the computer after printing a copy of the source code.

The Oregon Trail was created in 1971 by three student teachers at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota in an HP Time Shared BASIC environment running on an HP-2100 minicomputer. Don Rawitsch, one of the students, had the idea of ​​creating a computer program for the history classes he was teaching and recruited two friends Paul Dillenberger and Bill Heinemann. The Oregon Trail debuted at Rawitsch on December 3, 1971. Despite the loopholes, the game was welcomed soon and he was offered to others by time-sharing service at the Minneapolis public school. But at the end of the next semester, Rawitsch deleted the program despite printing a copy of the source code.
