This trail connected Sandborn Road to the town of Husum. It was originally named the Weldon-Hyndman Road by its petitioners and builders, Elwin Weldon and Henry Hyndman. Before this wagon road was built, people of the Sandborn area used sleds to haul their products 3 miles to and from Husum. Pioneers expected the building of the road to result in the development of a big section of the county.
