The Lincoln Highway, conceived in 1913 by Carl G. Fisher, was the first road in the United States, connecting the east and west coast. It ran from Times Square, New York, to Lincoln Park in San Francisco and conjoining original 13 U.S. states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California. Its length was about 3389 miles ( 5454 km ). In 1928, the route was moved so that the Lincoln Highway now the northernmost tip of West Virginia touched. Today, the highway is therefore implementing 14 U.S. states.
