When the United States became a nation there were about four or maybe five ways to get west of the Appalachian Mountains. The easiest way would have been through the St Lawrence river, but that was controlled by Canada. South of that was through the Mohawk Valley in New York. South of that was Braddocks Road from Cumberland Maryland to Western Pennsylvania. South of that was the Wilderness Road. A person could go down the Shenandoah Valley or west from Richmond, Virginia and travel to the Wilderness Road and cross the mountains to Kentucky. The next place south was the Port of Mobile. A person could go to Rome, Georgia, North Alabama, or North Mississippi on riverboats from Mobile. It was also possible to go north on boats from New Orleans. Those five ways were how people could go past the mountains. The Wilderness Road opened Kentucky to settlement.
The Wilderness Road opened in 1775 when adventurer Daniel Boone blazed the trail the road followed. It went from Fort Chiswell in the colony of Virginia through the Cumberland Gap into part of central Kentucky.
Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin at Sinking Spring Farm, which was located in rural Hardin County (now LaRue County), Kentucky. Today, the site bears the address of 2995 Lincoln Farm Road, Hodgenville, Kentucky.

In 1750, Thomas Walker, a pioneer scout, entered Kentucky through the Cumberland Gap and made the first thorough exploration of the eastern part of the region. Daniel Boone explored eastern Kentucky in 1767. He came to Kentucky again in 1769, and spent two years in the Bluegrass Region. Simon Kenton explored northeastern Kentucky in 1773 and 1774. James Harrod led a group of colonists into Kentucky from Pennsylvania. They established Harrodsburg, Kentucky's first permanent white settlement. Boone led a group of settlers through the Cumberland Gap into Kentucky in 1775. His route became known as the Wilderness Road. Boone settled along the Kentucky River and called his site Boonesborough.

The federally funded road that aided the settlement of the Northwest was the Oregon Trail. This route facilitated the migration of thousands of settlers moving westward in search of land and opportunity during the mid-19th century. The U.S. government supported the construction and maintenance of roads and trails to promote settlement and economic development in the region, ultimately leading to the establishment of new communities and states. The Oregon Trail played a crucial role in shaping the demographics and economy of the Northwest.
