The Old Coffee Road, first vehicular and postal route of this area, passed here running southwestward from the Ocmulgee River via today Lax, Nashville, Cecil, Barwick, and Thomasville to the Florida line above Tallahassee. The thoroughfare was opened by direction of the State in 1823 under the superintendence of General John Coffee and Thomas Swain. This early way provided a short route from the older middle and eastern sections of the State into Southwest Georgia. Much of the former course remains in daily use.| HM Number | HM9KR |
