Early Charleston Road
This road largely followed an old Indian path (1691). Widened by Public Act, 1753, and called ''The Great Charleston Road," it joined that city with Camden and "The Back Country." Over it came Indians, pack animals laden with hides, drovers, rolled hogsheads of produce, wagoners, and stagecoaches. The armies of two wars passed over it. Like other main roads, it has often been called ''The King's Highway."
