  • One Hundred Years of the Lincoln Highway
    Abstract: The Lincoln Highway, formally dedicated in 1913, was the first formal transcontinental auto route in the United States, going from New York City to San Francisco along the shortest, most direct route practical. The route helped to galvanize the Good Roads Movement and spur the evolution of a culture in the United States centered around the automobile. The Lincoln Highway Association, formed to gather support for the highway through fundraising, publicity, and construction activities, played a significant role in generating public enthusiasm for improved highways by leading an active propaganda machine, constructing many miles of improved roads, and being a leader in the establishment of design standards and traffic laws. The Lincoln Highway itself saw many firsts in American transportation, which will be discussed in this paper, and thus holds an important place in history. This paper will describe the history of the establishment and construction of the Lincoln Highway and discuss its contribution toward the promotion of improved highways, the development of a national system of improved highways, and general impact the route had on the nation.
