At Fort Daniel on Hog Mountain, about 12 miles northeast, the original Peachtree Road began and ran to the village of Standing Peachtree on the Chattahoochee River. This old road was opened to haul military supplies to the river, where they were to be floated downstream to Gen. Jackson’s and Gen. Floyd’s troops as they converged on the Indians in the Creek Wars of 1813-1814. Built in late 1813 or early 1814, Fort Daniel was a stockade and the extreme western point in Georgia, with all land to the west and northwest remaining Indian country. The old road entered the present highway here.
