496-554: A two-lane highway, more or less following the route of I-79 as it passes through Weston , Clarksburg , Fairmont , and Morgantown before crossing into Pennsylvania . The distance from Beckley from I-79 is also known as Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) Corridor L. It allows traffic to the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , area to bypass Charleston , and is thus part of a main link from Charlotte, North Carolina , and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina , to Pittsburgh. US 19

Also, in about 1934, according to that year's WVDOT annual report, the original Beckley Bypass was completed. It is referred to as "Alternate Route" through at least 1936. Then, by 1940, it appears mainline US 19 was moved onto it, leaving behind US 19 Alt. (now WV 16, CR 21/5, more WV 16, and all of WV 210) through Beckley. Also, in about 1934, according to that year's WVDOT annual report, US 19/US 21

930-605: The Alleghenian orogeny . Earlier in the Paleozoic, the area was the site of shallow seas which resulted in large limestone deposits. The Alleghenian orogeny caused both uplift and the metamorphism of rock at the highest pressure points within the various Appalachian mountain chains. The Snowbird and Unicoi Mountains , which border the Valley River, contain silver , gold , copper , limestone , sandstone , marble , brown iron ore in economically recoverable quantities. During

992-676: The Allegheny River , lay the Conestoga (Susquehannock). The Conestoga Confederacy and Erie were militarily powerful and respected by neighboring tribes. By 1660 all of these peoples but the Conestoga Confederacy and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy were defeated and scattered, migrating to form new tribes or adopted into others. The Iroquoian peoples had a practice of adopting valiant enemies into

1054-703: The East Lackawannock Township . Near Erie , it crosses I-90 before going through the downtown area, ending at US 20 (26th Street). US 19 overlaps with three corridors that are part of the ADHS , which is part of Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). Passed in 1965, the purpose of the ADHS is to generate economic development in previously isolated areas, supplement the Interstate Highway System, connect Appalachia to

1116-842: The Georgia border north of Monticello . US 19 remains independent of Interstate 75 (I-75), even as the routes converge in the Tampa Bay area . The route is cosigned with I-275 over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge , a cable-stayed bridge over the mouth of Tampa Bay , US 98 between the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge and Perry , US 27 Alternate (US 27 Alt.) between Chiefland and Perry, and US 27 between and Perry and Capps . The unsigned designation for US 19 in Florida, between Memphis and Perry,

1178-864: The Great Smoky Mountains . US 19 passes through the Qualla Boundary . For a brief time, US 19 is cosigned with US 276 . Then, US 19 is cosigned with US 23 from Lake Junaluska to Mars Hill (and with US 70 in Asheville ), which closely parallels I-40 and then Future I-26 . Just north of Mars Hill , US 19 continues solo to Cane River , where US 19 splits: US 19E toward Burnsville and US 19W toward Erwin, Tennessee . Traversing 75.9 miles (122.1 km) from Cane River, North Carolina , to Bluff City, Tennessee , US 19E first goes east to Burnsville and Spruce Pine , then north along

1240-670: The Pisgah phase (1000 to 1500) of the South Appalachian Mississippian culture , the Valley River was known as Gunahita or “Long River”. Later the Cherokee called it Konehetee (or Konnaheeta ), meaning Valley River. Another ancient mound is known as the Andrews Mound ; it is located on private property along the Valley River near Andrews, North Carolina . It is believed to have been built in

1302-647: The Qualla Phase (1500 to 1850). The earliest years were during the South Appalachian Mississippian culture period in this region. The Iroquoian -speaking Cherokee people are believed to have reached this area later. Settlements along the Valley River and the larger Hiwassee River were classified among what English colonists referred to as the Valley Towns . The traders and colonists of South Carolina classified six (6) regions of Cherokee villages in 1700 by geographic groupings, based on their relation to

1364-460: The 1926 official maps of both Virginia and West Virginia show this, but, by the time the U.S. Numbered Highway System went live in late 1926, US 19 did extend all the way through West Virginia. The road from Beckwith to US 60 was completed as new construction in 1926. It is unclear if US 19 was briefly part of the old route via Kanawha Falls which became part of WV 61 (now County Route 13, or CR 13). In 1929, US 19

1426-483: The 1926 official road atlas (which shows other U.S. Highways) nor the 1927 Clason road atlas. It does appear on a mid-1927 official map. It ran generally as it does today. In this routing, US 19 was added to US 11 and State Route 10 (SR 10) from the Tennessee state line to Abingdon , SR 106 from Abingdon to Hansonville , SR 112 from Hansonville to Lebanon , and SR 11 from Lebanon to

1488-559: The Cherokee. The 1835 Treaty of Echota ceded the land to the state of North Carolina . Beginning in 1838 at Fort Butler , the Cherokee were marshaled for removal to Oklahoma . The Cherokee were forcibly removed on the order of President Andrew Jackson , despite a ruling in favor of the Cherokee by the US Supreme Court . The march would be known as the Trail of Tears . In 1839, Cherokee County, North Carolina, which now contains

1550-662: The Hiwassee Lake. US 19 U.S. Route 19 or U.S. Highway 19 ( US 19 ) is a north–south United States Numbered Highway in the Eastern United States . Despite encroaching Interstate Highways , the route has remained a long-haul road, connecting the Gulf of Mexico with Lake Erie . The highway's southern terminus is at Memphis, Florida , which is just south of St. Petersburg at an intersection with US 41 . Its northern terminus

1612-639: The I-81 interchange. US 19 followed today's US 11 approaching Abingdon, then used Colonial Avenue and crossed the railroad to modern US 11 at roughly the Bytt Street location, then US 58 Alt. northwest. US 19 followed today's US 19/US 58 Alt. to Hansonville except SR 766 near Abingdon, SR 633 loop at Butts, SR 775 at Greendale, and SR 876/SR 802 at Holton. Leaving Hansonville, US 19 used today's US 19 up to SR 674, then abandoned alignment on

1674-521: The Interstate System, and provide access to areas within the region as well as to markets in the rest of the nation. US 19 first entered Florida in 1929. It underwent two route shifts, the first in 1933 and the second in 1946, which adjusted it to its current alignment. US 19 was extended to its southern terminus of Memphis in September 1954, when the original Sunshine Skyway Bridge opened to traffic. Starting around 1956, US 19

1736-569: The Neutral people as Atiwandaronk, meaning 'they who understand the language'. The Wenro and Neutral are historically grouped together, and geographically the Wenro's range on the eastern end of Lake Erie placed them between the larger confederations. To the east of the Wenro, beyond the Genesee Gorge , were the lands of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. To the southeast, beyond the headwaters of

Initially, US 19 followed Old Fincastle Turnpike in western Tazewell, then current US 19 Bus. through Tazewell, then Ben Bolt Road east to SR 61. US 19 then followed SR 61 north to SR 678 (Market Street). US 19 followed SR 678 north to SR 645 east which used to connect back to modern US 19/US 460. US 19 followed today's US 19 to Bluefield, West Virginia, except SR 781, SR 680 loops in Springville , SR 665, and SR 744/SR 1520 Shannandale. There are other visible unnumbered loops that are visible to

The quite winding alignment where it crosses the Doe River twice is completely abandoned; State Line Road/Johnson Avenue/Sycamore Street/Broad Street through Elizabethton, plus today's SR 400 and Bristol/Elizabethton/Old Elizabethton highways to Bluff City. In 1931 or 1932, US 19 south was extended over US 19W to the new US 19E/US 19W split in Hillcrest (the current SR 44/Elizabethton Highway junction) Although an original U.S. Highway, US 19 does not appear on

1922-431: The Valley River became part of Rutherford County, North Carolina . In 1791 the Valley River became a part of Buncombe County, North Carolina . In 1808 Haywood County, North Carolina , which was to contain the Valley River, was carved from Buncombe County. In 1828, Macon County, North Carolina which was to contain the Valley River was carved from Haywood County. Until 1835, the lands around the Valley River all belonged to

1984-494: The Valley River was part of the as yet unsurveyed western end of Anson County, North Carolina . Jacques Nicolas Bellin 's Map of Carolina and Georgia of 1757 shows but does not label the Valley River. The Map of Georgia and Carolina by Bellin shows the Valley Towns of Euforsee, Comastee, Little Telliquo, Cotocanahuy, Nayowee, Tomatly, and Chewohe In 1768 the Valley River became part of Tryon County, North Carolina . In 1779

The languages of the tribes that constituted the tiny Wenrohronon , the powerful Conestoga Confederacy and the confederations of the Neutral Nation and the Erie Nation are very poorly documented in print. The Huron ( Wyandot people ) referred to

2294-528: The area on the way to building a fort on the Catawba River near Charlotte, North Carolina The first permanent settlement of Europeans in the area was a Baptist missionary outpost near Peachtree, North Carolina on the Hiwassee River in 1817. The Valley River saw a succession of administrative and political changes as the counties of western North Carolina were formed and subdivided. In 1753

2356-585: The banks of the North Toe River to Cranberry and Elk Park , before crossing the North Carolina – Tennessee state line. Heading northeast, it goes through Roan Mountain , Hampton , and Elizabethton , rendezvousing with US 19W in Bluff City. Traversing 62.6 miles (100.7 km) from Cane River, North Carolina , to Bluff City, Tennessee , US 19W goes immediately north along

At Ernestville , US 19W joins with I-26 / US 23 and proceeds through Erwin , Unicoi , and Johnson City . In Johnson City, it switches partners to US 11E along Bristol Highway, rendezvousing with US 19E in Bluff City. US 19 starts again in Bluff City , heading northeast along

2480-526: The colonial settlements at the Atlantic coast. The Cherokee towns of Conoske , Tomatly , Little Telliquo and Nayowee were located along the Valley River. The Cherokee called the confluence of the Valley River at the Hiwassee River Tlanusi’yi, or ‘The Leech Place’. They said that it was the home of a legendary giant leech that ate the ears and noses of Cherokee victims. Hernando De Soto

2604-566: The entire Valley River between Gipp Creek and Hiwassee Lake . Most of the impairments are minor and result from runoff from pasture or impervious surfaces. US 19 traverses the Valley River valley providing panoramic views from the Unicoi to the Snowbird Mountains. Historic sections of Murphy and Andrews have been restored and bring some tourism to the area; there are also a large flea market , and recreational opportunities provided by

2666-399: The erosion of the mountains over a 480 million-year period, the Valley River carved a broad, flat valley and deposited rich fertile soil. Marble, North Carolina is the site of high-quality white, gray, pink and blue marble. It has been known by European Americans since the removal of the Cherokee in 1838–1839 . They have quarried here intermittently ever since. Near Rhodo, North Carolina

2728-578: The north side of US 19/US 460. In Bluefield, US 19 used Greever and East streets. Appeared in December 1926 as an original U.S. Highway, replacing West Virginia Route 4 (WV 4) from Bluefield to Westover and WV 30 from Westover to Pennsylvania. The original description of US 19 in the 1925 West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) annual report had US 19 ending at US 60 in Gauley Bridge and

East of Lebanon, US 19 used SR 656 loop back to US 19. After a brief stretch of today's US 19, US 19 followed the SR 872 loop near SR 80 eastbound. US 19 followed more of today's US 19 but near SR 80 westbound stayed north of

2852-499: The northern suburbs of Atlanta along SR 400 . Most of this section is a limited-access road with four lanes in each direction, becoming two lanes in each direction as the highway continues away from the northern suburbs of Atlanta. It picks back up as Lee Highway north of Atlanta. It arrives in Dahlonega , where it is no longer concurrent with SR 400, before about 37 miles (60 km) of extremely curvy road, which includes

2914-567: The other three communities along the Valley River. The Valley River area remains largely rural and agricultural. The lower reaches are navigable in a canoe but there is little activity on the river beyond fishing. At Murphy, the Konehette (“valley” in Cherokee) Park borders the Valley River, providing a greenway . The State of North Carolina has identified nine tributaries of the Valley River as having some form of impairment, including

2976-528: The river has a mean annual discharge of 247 cu ft/s (7.0 m/s) Indigenous peoples have been proven to have settled here between 8000 and 1000 BC. Two miles (3.2 km) east of the terminus of the Valley River lies the Peachtree Mound , an Archaic period earthwork mound. It was excavated in 1933 by the Smithsonian . Successive indigenous cultures continued to arise here. During

3038-492: The route now designated US 19E. US 19W in Yancey County was US 19-23 in 1935, and what is now US 19E was US 19A. The US 19E and US 19W designations have been used since 1930. Prior to 1948, US 19 between Ela and Waynesville essentially followed the route of present-day US 74. Then, this road was called US 19A and the section of NC 28 . From Ela to Cherokee and

3100-499: The section of NC 293 from Cherokee to near Waynesville became US 19. Improvements were made, including a new section of highway west of Lake Junaluska . Around 1956, US 19/US 23 was widened to four lanes from Lake Junaluska to Canton . By 1970, a section of US 19 west of Murphy , also designated US 64 (and later US 74 ), was widened to four lanes. In January 1983, after improvements to US 19A had made it similar to an Interstate Highway ,

3162-475: The state proposed designating US 19A as US 19 Bypass. At one point, changing US 19A to US 19 was considered, but businesses in Maggie Valley opposed the idea of their highway being changed to US 19A. US 19A became the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway . US 19 originally went from the North Carolina state line to US 511 . In 1928, US 19 was extended with US 511 to Bristol and into Virginia. In 1930, US 19 south

The group known as the Meherrin were neighbors to the Tuscarora and the Nottoway ( Binford 1967 ) in the American South. They are believed to have spoken an Iroquoian language but documentation is lacking. Attempts to link the Iroquoian, Siouan , and Caddoan languages in a Macro-Siouan family are suggestive but remain unproven ( Mithun 1999 :305). As of 2012,

Though this story accords very well with the Indian laws which condemned to death those who disclosed the existence of mines to white men, yet I do not regard it as entitled too much credit". Talc has been mined in Cherokee County since at least the 1850s. At Tomotla ,

3472-428: Was four-laned, initially in the Perry area, working north toward the Georgia border. The entire route in Florida was four-laned by 1972. The planned St. Petersburg–Clearwater Expressway, or Pinellas Beltway, would have followed the current alignment of US 19 Alt. from I-275 to Clearwater, Florida . The intersection of Seminole Boulevard and Bay Pines Boulevard is a remnant of this proposed road. The beltway road

3534-448: Was proposed in 1974, but it was dead by 1980. In North Carolina, US 19 was North Carolina Highway 10 (NC 10) from the Georgia state line to Asheville, NC 29 from Asheville to Madison County , NC 69 to a point near the Tennessee state line, and either NC 194 or NC 694 for a short distance south of the Tennessee state line. The original US 19 in Yancey , Mitchell , and Avery counties mostly followed

In about 1934, US 19 was given a new routing between Bluefield and Princeton . The old route became CR 25 (Old Princeton Road) out of Bluefield; CR 25 (Mercer Mall Road) to Edison (some of this

3720-790: Was rerouted at Belva to the current WV 39 crossing of Twentymile Creek. The old route used today's CR 16/6 which no longer crosses the railroad and abandoned routing northwest to the Creek crossing which remained many decades past but is now gone along WV 16 north of the WV 39 junction. In about 1931, according to that year's WVDOT annual report, US 19/US 21 was removed from CR 19/19 (Cherry Creek Circle) and CR 119/8 (Lamar Circle) in Cherry Creek; CR 19/17 (Marshall Circle) all between Ghent and Shady Spring ; also CR 19/28 (Ransom Drive), CR 119/20 (Little Vine Drive), and CR 19/14.
