Slosheye Trail

Slosheye Trail served as a travel artery for Indians and white traders as early as 1750, extending from Hawkinsville on the Ocmulgee River to Drayton on the Flint River. This ancient trail passed through Hawkinsville over the present Commerce Street. As traffic steadily grew, first from Indians and then from white settlers, it gradually widened into a road, became a valuable factor in South Georgia’s development, and is now a link in the state’s highway system.
