Federal Road (Creek lands)
- Federal Road (Creek lands)
The Federal Road was a project that started in 1805 when the Creek Indians gave a permission for the development of a "horse path" through their nation for more efficient mail delivery between Washington City (D.C.) and New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Federal Road covered the first days of mail delivery, the widening of itself into a war road during 1811, and the use of the road during the Creek Indian War of 1812 and the part that played in the removal of Creek Indians to the West.
