The Lincoln Highway was the first auto road across the United States. Promoted by Carl G. Fisher of Indianapolis, its route was announced in 1913. From Times Square in New York City to Lincoln Park in San Francisco, it stretched across 3,389 miles and served as a living memorial to Abraham Lincoln. In 1928, concrete markers were placed coast-to-coast by the Lincoln Highway Association and the Boy Scouts of America.
