The Lincoln Highway is one of the first transcontinental highways in the United States, established in 1913. It stretches approximately 3,389 miles from New York City to San Francisco, connecting various states and communities along the way. The highway was named in honor of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, and aimed to promote automobile travel across the country. Originally, the Lincoln Highway was a mix of existing roads and new routes, designed to facilitate easier travel for motorists. Over the years, it has evolved into a network of modern highways, with many sections still retaining their historical charm. Today, it serves as a scenic route for travelers interested in American history and culture.
