===Plank Road===
{{Main|Fayetteville and Western Plank Road}}
Construction of [[Plank Road]] began in 1849. Plank Road extended {{convert|129|mi|km}} and was made of planks {{convert|8|ft|m}} long, {{convert|9|to|16|in|mm}} wide, and {{convert|3|in|mm}} thick. The road carried horseback riders, wagons, and stagecoaches. A [[Toll road|toll]] of one [[cent (currency)|cent]] per mile (1.6&nbsp;km) was charged for a wagon and four horses. Toll revenues declined after construction of the railroad, and by 1862 much of Plank Road was abandoned.

Parts of [[North Carolina Highway 705]] follow the Plank Road route.
