William "Coin" Harvey did a lot of things that we remember locally -- the resort he built, the amphitheater, and his run for president. But one of the most important and least known things he did was to develop one of the first road systems in the U.S. As railroads started to die down because of the coming of the automobile, there was a need for a good road system. We must remember there were no numbered or marked roads at this time. Auto travel was dependent on local information as to the best route.
