Nomadic bands of Native Americans camped along the banks of Crabtree Creek some 8,000-10,000 years ago, and one trail they used led to a shallow ford over Crabtree Creek and crossed through the future site of Morrisville. After Europeans arrived, the trail became a major highway into the colony's rough backcountry. In 1771, the passing army of Governor William Tryon improved the road while campaigning against rebellious farmers known as the Regulators.
