Tealtown and Baldwin Roads were once part of an old state road. In 1804, the new state of Ohio appropriated $1,650 to make a road from Chillicothe through Cincinnati to the west line of the state. Isaac Anderson of Cincinnati was appointed commissioner and surveyor of the road, which came to be called the Anderson State Road. When it opened in 1806, the road was 92 ¾ miles long and 66 feet wide. It lost its importance after turnpikes were built.
