Description
Old Sunbury Road Marker, Metter, GA.
This marker is located next to cemetery on Ga. 23 two miles south of I-16 and four miles south of Metter .
The marker reads as :
" The route crossing at this point is the Sunbury Road, one of the longest vehicular thoroughfares of post-Revolutionary Georgia. it was laid out in the early 1790’s from Greensboro via today’s Sparta and Swainsboro to the town of Sunbury, a port on the Midway River in Liberty County. The route was noted for its elevated course and small number of stream crossings. When Sunbury, once a leading Georgia port, lost commercial significance, the road declined in arterial importance. Much of the old way, however, continues in daily use."
