ATLANTIC HIGHWAY, one of the first great American thoroughfares to have a name, is notable for the fact that it passes through the greatest cities of the East and is surrounded by the historic points of interest of the 13 original States. Extending from Calais, Me., to Miami, Fla., it is all hard or paved roadway as far as South Carolina, and again in Florida. Bangor, Portland, Boston, Providence, New York, Trenton, Philadelphia, Wilming ton, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Raleigh, Augusta, Jack sonville, St. Augustine and Palm Beach are some of the centres of population that lie along its route. Bordering upon the Atlantic ocean through much of its 2,24om., it affords scenes of great beauty, varying from the roaring surf and rock-bound cliffs of Maine to the coral reefs and opalescent blue of Florida's quiet waters.
