Old Sunbury Road was one of the longest vehicular routes of post-Revolutionary Georgia. Opened in the early 1790’s from Greensboro via Sparta and Swainsboro to the Town of Sunbury, a port on the Midway River in Liberty County, it was noted for its elevated course and small number of water crossings. When Sunbury declined in commercial importance, the road lost arterial significance and parts of it were abandoned, but from upper Emanuel County southward most of the old way continues in daily use.
