Founding In the late 1850s, William Russell, Alexander Majors, and William Waddell were the three founders of the Pony Express and were already in the freighting and drayage business with more than 4000 men, 3500 wagons and some 40,000 oxen. By utilizing a short route and using mounted riders rather than traditional stagecoaches, they proposed to establish a fast mail service between St. Joseph, MO, and Sacramento, CA, with letters delivered in 10 days.

Closing The Pony Express announced its closure on October 26, 1861, two days after the transcontinental telegraph reached Salt Lake City and connected Omaha, Nebraska and Sacramento, California. The company grossed $90,000 and lost $200,000. In 1866, after the American Civil War was over, the Pony Express assets along with the remnants of the Butterfield Stage were sold to Wells Fargo for $1.5 million.
