Year Erected: 1956
*Marker Text: From here southward for the next 18 miles this highway follows closely the course of the Sunbury Road, one of the longest vehicular thoroughfares in post-Revolutionary Georgia. It was laid out in the early 1790's from Greensboro via today's Sparta and Swainsboro to Sunbury, an educational center and port on the Midway River in Liberty County. The route was noted for its elevated course and few stream crossings. The old way lost arterial significance when Sunbury declined in commercial importance. From this area southward much of the highway continues in daily use.
