Built between 1811 and 1837, the National Road (Cumberland Road) connected the Potomac and Ohio valleys. It crossed the Ohio River in Wheeling, then in Virginia. The road began in Cumberland, Maryland, went west through southwestern Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, and Indiana, as far as Vandalia, Illinois.

This was only about 50 miles from the present site of St. Louis, Missouri on far (west) side of the Mississippi River.
