Baltimore, Maryland

The first federally funded part of the National Road starts in Cumberland, MD and runs to Wheeling, WV. The second part starts from Wheeling and continues to Vandalia Illinois. The part from Baltimore to Cumberland, was financed by the Maryland banks who agreed to build a turnpike from Baltimore to Cumberland as part of their agreement to renew their state charters.
