Why was the wilderness road important?
When the United States became a nation there were about four or maybe five ways to get west of the Appalachian Mountains. The easiest way would have been through the St Lawrence river, but that was controlled by Canada. South of that was through the Mohawk Valley in New York. South of that was Braddocks Road from Cumberland Maryland to Western Pennsylvania. South of that was the Wilderness Road. A person could go down the Shenandoah Valley or west from Richmond, Virginia and travel to the Wilderness Road and cross the mountains to Kentucky. The next place south was the Port of Mobile. A person could go to Rome, Georgia, North Alabama, or North Mississippi on riverboats from Mobile. It was also possible to go north on boats from New Orleans. Those five ways were how people could go past the mountains. The Wilderness Road opened Kentucky to settlement.

The Wilderness Road opened in 1775 when adventurer Daniel Boone blazed the trail the road followed. It went from Fort Chiswell in the colony of Virginia through the Cumberland Gap into part of central Kentucky.
