In the early 1800s, area residents developed what became one of the oldest named roads in Rapides Parish. Crossing the Little River at Donahue Ferry in Bob, LA, the road linked Central Louisiana to Natchez, MS, making it the main regional route for travel and trade during the colonial and antebellum times.
