George Washington was the most famous person to use this road. It was his favorite route on many important personal, business, and military trips from Mount Vernon to Virginia's western frontier and points beyond. Although his trips of 1753 and 1754 - in connection with the French-English conflict - are set forth, his trip up the road in April 1755 up the road in April 1755 to join the Braddock Campaign against Fort Duquesne (present site of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) should be noted. He was accompanied by a few personal companions.

Fairfax Harrison in that monumental history of the region, "Landmarks of the Old Prince William," stated that it might be called the "Washington Road."
