Three Notch Trail was one of the important pioneer roads and, from early days, was believed to have been marked by scouts sent out by General Andrew Jackson to mark the route followed by Jackson’s men to Fort Scott on their way to fight the Seminoles in Florida. Most of Jackson’s troops traveled this way, including Col. A. P. Haynes and his detachment of Tennesseans. The route, an old Indian trail, was also used by General Edmund P. Gaines and his troops from Fort Gaines to Fort Scott. It later became a wagon road for early settlers and appears on maps as early as 1820.
