US Highway 1 was originally known as the Atlantic Highway and started out as a rough wagon road. US-1 was created piecemeal from existing roads, much the same as all early numbered U.S. highways.
There is a 40-foot wide stretch of the road built in the mid-1800s between Buberry and Neshaming creeks. Parts of it is known as the Byberry Pike, Benesalem Pike and Lincoln Highway. It became a limited access highway in 1921, lengthened in 1932 and rebuilt in 1971.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
