When was the first U.S. highway built?

McGruff

The National Road was the first highway in the United States. Today it can be traced by following U.S. Highway 40 and Interstate 70. It was begun in 1818 and went from Baltimore, Maryland to Wheeling, Virginia (what would become West Virginia). Many researchers will recognize this portion of the National Road as being the Cumberland Road. http://www.genealogy.com/heard102199.html Mar 05 05, 9:54 PM
