England built some of the first roads in America.
The first American roads were built by various European powers who had established colonies on the continent: the Spanish, the Dutch, but mostly the English.
The oldest one, the King's Highway, was built by England from 1650 to 1735. It was 1,300 miles long and went from Charleston, South Carolina to Boston, Massachusetts. Other examples of English-built roads include Mohegan Road (1670, today's Connecticut Route 32) and the Boston Post Road (1673).
