Information
has glosseng: Coffee Road as it became known, was a supply trail cut through the southern Georgia frontier by General John E. Coffee, with the help of Thomas Swain. After establishing the counties of Early, Irwin, and Appling in 1919, the Georgia General Assembly approved construction of the road DC 23rd 1922 with funds of $1,500. The trail was built in the early 1820s and ran from Jacksonville, GA to Tallahassee, FL. The trail was initially built to carry munitions of war to Florida Territory to fight the Indians during the Creek Wars, but was later used by settlers moving into the Georgia frontier. There were no bridges or ditches and only private ferry crossings. Many pioneer families including Halls, Folsoms, Roundtrees, Parrishs, and Knights traveled to find farms and plantations.
