It was Cumberland, Maryland. The "national road" or "Cumberland Road" was constructed by the federal government beginning in 1811. It was paved as far westward as Wheeling, West Virginia by 1818 and Vidalia, Illinois by 1839 (at which time construction was ended).

Planning for the road was started by President Thomas Jefferson in 1806.
