In the early 20th century, as automobiles became more and more popular, the need for a national system of roads in the United States became more evident.
One of the suggested roads connected the city of Chicago, Illinois, on the Great Lakes, with the city of Los Angeles, California, on the Pacific Ocean.
In 1926 the route was established, following paths and trails which had been used for centuries, and quickly found itself as a central object of popular culture.
