Abstract:

The roads in New Bern reveal a history since the time its streets were first laid out by Baron Christoph von Graffenried three-hundred years ago. By 1760 the network of roads was complete and New Bern became the capital of North Carolina. Over the years, the road system made remarkable changes and ultimately improved during its Good Road Movement.
