Early in the construction of what is now called the Blue Ridge Parkway, the project was called Appalachian Scenic Highway. Work began on September 11, 1935. On June 30, 1936, Congress formally authorized the project as the Blue Ridge Parkway and placed it under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service. However, the parkway is not a National Park, but it is a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road, and is the most visited unit in the United States National Park System.
