The Sunbury Road crossing at this point was one of the longest vehicular thoroughfares of post-Revolutionary Georgia. It was laid out in the early 1790's from Greensboro by way of today's Sparta and Swainsboro to Sunbury, a port on the Midway River in Liberty County. The route was noted for its elevated course and small number of stream crossings. After Sunbury, once a leading Georgia port, lost commercial significance, the road declined in arterial importance, but much of the old way continues in daily use.
