The King's Highway

I never realized when I was a teenager driving around Myrtle Beach, SC and the Grand Strand that I was driving on the oldest highway in America. We always called Highway 17 "The King's Highway" without even thinking about it. Turns out, it came into existence when we were still subject to the king of England!

Check out this link, I think it's fascinating!

  1. That is so cool! And I had no idea that any roads in our country were that old. Or at least the original roadways.

    The King's Highway can also be found in England. I don't think it runs under the ocean, though.

  5. That is really interesting and so is the article! Thanks for telling us about it. My husband grew up in Columbia, South Caroline. I'll have to ask him what he knows about it. He will love that article too.

  6. Knowing about the history of our immediate surroundings is fascinating, isn't it. Here in this country, a road is considered old if it was built by the Romans ;-)
