The National Road is the first Federally Funded highway in the United States. Congress accepted the proposal in March 1806, construction began in June 1811 and opened in 1818. It began in Cumberland, MD, and terminated in Wheeling WVA (then VA). It eventually included an existing road between Baltimore and Cumberland. Sections of the road still exist and is a major thoroughfare to outlying parts of the countryside.
