Somewhere in or around Louisiana.......when Lewis and Clark started their journey.
This is the first official expedition of the Oregon trail as per Wiki:
Elm Grove Expedition
On May 16, 1842 the first organized wagon train on the Oregon Trail set out from Elm Grove, Missouri, with more than 100 pioneers (members of the party later disagreed over the size of the party, one stating 160 adults and children were in the party, while another counted only 105.) Despite company policy to discourage U.S. emigration, John McLoughlin, Factor of the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Vancouver, offered the American settlers food and farming equipment on credit, being unwilling to watch able-bodied people starve

Lewis and Clark had nothing to do with the Oregon Trail. The Oregon Trail began around St. Joseph, Missouri and went up through Kansas into Nebraska and followed the Platte River and then into Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and into Oregon.
