Cumberland Road =)
US route 40 mostly follows the path of the old national road.
The National road was important because it was the first highway to be built by the government. The road's construction began in 1811 and reached West Virginia in 1818. The road follows much of what is now US-40.
The National Pike is the first primary road in the US that linked the east and the west and is still used today. It is now also called Route 40. The National Pike was historically lined with taverns, restaurants and small motels, gas stations, and other businesses that catered to the traveling public.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is the world's first National Park.
It was built provide a portage route between the Potomac River and the Ohio River.

The first road accident in the US is not on record.
The national road or Cumberland Road was the first major improved road built by the US federal government. It was started in 1811. It began at Cumberland, MD. and ran to Vandalia, ILL, stopping short of its original destination of St.Louis,MO. It was approximately 620 miles long. US 40 now follows mostly the same route.
