44. The Federal Road Opens Alabama to Pioneers
Russell County
Many early settlers entered Alabama on the Old Federal Road. Begun in 1811 and expanded over the course of the
next few decades, the road crossed the Chattahoochee River from Georgia into Russell County, proceeded west to
near Montgomery, and turned southwest, linking Fort Stoddert, on the Mobile River, with Milledgeville, Georgia.
