HISTORY
FROM BABYLON TO WESTGATE
The Ohio Turnpike is actually a modern version of an ancient form of travel. Toll roads are at least 2,700 years old. Tolls had to be paid by travelers using the Susa-Babylon Way during the 7th century B.C. Many modern European roads were originally constructed as toll roads in order to recoup the cost of construction and maintenance.
Following the Revolutionary War (1783), and most particularly the victory of General “Mad” Anthony Wayne over the Indians at Fallen Timber in 1794, western migration increased dramatically as citizens of the new republic began settlement of the Ohio or Northwest Territory. In 1802 congress inserted into the Ohio statehood bill a provision for the construction of a National Road from the eastern seaboard across the new state. In time, the new road eased travel for horsemen, buggies and Conestoga wagons on their way west. A toll of two cents per every 10 miles was charged for horses. Additional tolls were charged for buggies and wagons, depending on their expected wear-and-tear on the roadway.
Over the years, more new roads were created as the population of Ohio grew. With the coming of the automobile, dirt roads and wooden bridges gave way to macadam, then asphalt, and then to concrete surfaces and spans of steel. Even so, by the mid-20th century something more was needed.
Ohio’s leaders envisioned a nonstop superhighway across the state, superior to anything that had ever been built. In 1949, the legislature authorized creation of the Ohio Turnpike Commission. To fund the new superhighway, the Commission issued $326 million in revenue bonds. The Turnpike would be the biggest construction project in Ohio’s history at that time.
