Abstract:
The placement of roads in Western North Carolina dates to colonial times, when settlers created better roads (the Trading Ford, and the Trading Path) to connect themselves to the market of Asheville. Today, major highways cover much of the historic roads, utilizing the same area North Carolinians used hundreds of years before.
