OLD POST ROAD
This road, formerly an Indian trail
which paralleled the coast, was used by the Spanish and British.
In 1778 it was traveled by Revolutionary soldiers who marched
against Fort Tonyn. The first mail service south of Savannah
was established over this road in 1763. Later it became a regular
stagecoach route.
At Coleridge, a short distance
north of the present Waycross Highway, Job Tyson maintained a
tavern for travelers along the post road. it was the only hostel
between the Altamaha and Satilla rivers and was a regular stagecoach
stop.
