	The Historic Context of the Dixie Highway
		The Dixie Highway is significant in Northwest Ohio as part of a local road system that has been important to transportation and economic development of the region since the 1820s, when settlers began to look for a path across the "Great Black Swamp" that covered much of the area.
		Today, identifying the route of the Dixie Highway is complicated by the change from names to numbers and by the fact that "the designation was somewhat fluid and changed as the road was improved" (Carver 1994-1995:14).
		The path of the Dixie Highway in Northwest Ohio in many ways coincides with the history of settlements in the area, and with the historical development of Wood County as a key transportation corridor for traffic moving between Detroit and Toledo and then going south toward the larger urban populations in Lima, Dayton, and Cincinnati.

		It was not until 1917 that a Texas Highway Department was established and not until 1921 that federal legislation compelled the state to assume the responsibility of construction and maintenance of highways receiving federal funds.

		The new route was a major improvement over the old Dixie Overland Highway in that all the right-angle turns and two hazardous grade crossings were eliminated, it had an all-weather surface, it shortened the distance between Forney and Dallas by 1.3 miles, and it was at least $100,000 less expensive than renovating the old route.
