Independence, Kansas City, and Westport (all of which are in Missouri, and all within a few miles of each other) were some fairly common starting points. Importantly, all of these are (mostly) south of the Missouri River, a formidable barrier. By starting on the river's south bank, wagons could head west without having to cross the river (which turns to the north at approximately the same location as these three cities).
