The Narrows became one of the most picturesque spots around Cumberland. Spendelow discovered it after the road over Wills Mountain had been constructed by General Braddock. It was adopted as the route of the Cumberland Road, the National Road, in 1833. The old stone bridge across Wills Creek was used from 1834 to 1932.
