Plank Roads of Northern Florida...

The first paved roads were the ones created in Egypt for the hauling of the large stones being used to build the pyramids. Some of the other first roads can be seen in Rome and other parts of Europe, where they are still being used even today.

In America there were more roads than the Spaniards expected, these were of course trails made by the Indians. Some of these roads or trails were so wide that the whole Spanish Army to march from side of Florida to another.

In Florida the paths or roads from the early days were rarely paved using stones. During this early period logs, sand and clay would have been far more often than stones for paving roads.

When using Pavers you need to have some kind of base material such as sand or gravel. For paving stones that were laid directly onto Florida soil would invariably sink into the ground. This was the reason why the state of Florida had to use another type of material in the early times. This material was logs and later on planks of timber.The plank roads gave the horses a much smoother riding surface
