Long before the resettlement of the Cherokee and Muscogee Creek, the Osage and other tribes used this region for hunting. Known as the Osage Trace, the trail was a major route used by American Indians for travel between winter and summer hunting areas and for trade or war. Immigrants to Texas and traders later passed up and down the trail, and it became known as the Texas Road. Historic roads were not like modern highways with easily identified lanes; depending on weather conditions, they might have nearly side-by-side ruts covering an area a mile or more wide.
