OLD SPANISH TRAIL
The Old Spanish Trail movement was organized in 1915 to promote a paved automobile highway across the southern United States from St. Augustine, to San Diego. At that time, land travelers from Mobile to Ocean Springs used a muddy track. Things were not much improved with a shell road from Biloxi to Pass Christian, and a sandy trace from Bay St. Louis to Pearlington, where the road came to an end at the Honey Island Swamp-Pearl River Delta. The effort was to revolutionize road travel and give those who used steamboats and railroads an alternate path.
