simply put, corduroy is a type of weave, made out of what? a variance in general denim and the pattern in sewing. most popular of corduroy are the corduroy jeans which recently have made a strong fashion comeback. some older generations may recall the hideous corduroy material jackets that, yeah you guessed it, LAWYERS....... liked to don in the mid seventies through the early eighties. Most popular and easiest to goggle may be Tommy Hilfiger's corduroy jeans released in '08, '09 and 2010......big sellers
It is a road that ran between cotton farms and textile factories
Corduroy roads, like the fabric.

Battle of Jerusalem Plank Road happened in 1864.
Corduroy roads are roads that are built with logs or poles placed across swampy or unstable ground. This type of road was used by wheeled vehicles and horses. Cattle and herds of pigs or sheep were not allowed on the road because of spaces between the logs and poles. Sometimes hewed or sawn lumber was used in the corduroy road. Look up some of the books about the old days written by Eric Sloane.
Battle of Boydton Plank Road happened on 1864-10-27.
Further Down the Old Plank Road was created in 2003.
It was often called a corduroy road.

High Point NC got the name because it's the highest point on the then 1856 NC railroad between Charlotte & Goldsboro. At the time it also intersected the 1852 Great Western Plank Road,(also known as the Fayetteville to Salem Plank Road). To this day it is still reported to be the longest plank road built in the state.
