The highway crossing here is the Old Quaker Road, one of Georgia´s earliest vehicular thoroughfares. It was opened about 1769 to provide a direct way from Savannah, the Colonial capital, to a Quaker settlement centering around Wrightsboro in today´s upper McDuffie County.
The Quaker Road was one of the longest and most important routes of the Province of Georgia.
Much of the original way remains in daily use.
