Confederate breastworks crossed this road extending from Tanner's Creek on the west to Broad Creek on the east with an intrenched camp to the west. Union soldiers under Major Gen. John E. Wool landed at Ocean View and marched to Norfolk over this road. Strategy necessitated evacuation and Norfolk surrendered on May 10, 1862 by Mayor Lamb.
