Some of the first roads in early American history were built by private companies. During the 18th and 19th centuries, as the United States began to develop, there was a significant need for roads to facilitate commerce and movement. Private companies often constructed these roads and operated them as turnpikes, where travelers would pay a fee or toll to use the road.
