Abstract

The purpose private associations were formed and were required to register each highway name with the Highway Commission. Establishments along a route would pay dues to the association, and in turn the association would map, sign, and advertise the route. While the names of these routes and their identifying road markers were replaced with route numbers almost a half century ago, some route names are still well known today. Some of these are the Lincoln Highway and the River to River Road.
