It began at the " Northerly corner of the (Quaker meeting-house," and after passing through "ye common land" and skirting the proi)erties of Petor Ferris, the Widow Colyer and John Maphis, terminated at " the town landing by the Mill." In 1723 a road was run "from the corner of John Huestis' garden" to the country road " by the house that John Packer lives in." In 1726 a road was built to " Jethamar Polton's saw-mill upon iJrunck's River ; " and on July 20, 1727, the highway '■ from the road y' goes to Brunx's River, where Joseph Hallstead now lives, from the causeway by Col. Heathcote's Mill, between the land then of Israel Honeywell, Senr., since deceased, and the land of Thomas Hadden to the said Ferris' land," was ordered to be closed. November 21, 1728, the commissioners reviewed a highway " from Joseph Hallstead's land southerly, to be an open road; he (the said Hallstead) to build a good stout bridge over the low ground against the house where Abigail Reed liveth, at his own cost." April 10, 1729, they closed the road "already laid out through y" Frog's (Throgg's) Neck," but in 1731 revoked their action, and the highway was again established from the ferry through Augustine Baxter's land.

The present road from Westchester Bridge to Pelham Bridge was authorized as follows:
