- Fayetteville and Western Plank Road
The Fayetteville and Western Plank Road was a 129 mi plank road from Fayetteville, NC to the Moravian settlement at Bethania, NC. [cite web | url = http://www.northcarolinahistory.org/encyclopedia/70/entry | title = Fayetteville and Western Plank Road | accessdate = 2007-01-05 | last = Kickler | first = Troy L. | work = North Carolina History Project | format = HTML] The road was constructed from 1851-1852 using funds raised by boosters and accompanying funds provided by the state of North Carolina. During the mid-1850s, business on the toll-based road provided as much as $27,419.77 income in one year, but by the turn of the decade income no longer met maintenance costs and the road was unprofitable.
