This is an interesting spot that no doubt has it's times of high muggle activity.
HISTORY: US 1 has been around since the earliest planning stages, it is in the 1925 BPR plan. In 1927, it entered the state south of Folkston, GA. It was routed through Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Daytona, Titusville, Melbourne, Fort Pierce, West Palm Beach, and ended in Miami at US 94. The original route largely followed the east or "main" leg of the Dixie Highway. Heading south, US 1 followed a route close to its current alignment till US 23 leaves it. The route of US 23 into Jacksonville, "Old Kings Rd", is the original US 1. The name seems to change to State St in downtown Jacksonville. Main St, then as now, carries US 1 south to the Saint John's River. Across the river, a jog over St. Johns Ave lead back to the straighter route south, Hendricks Blvd. (Now FL 13). The route moved back east from Goodbys over Old St Augustine Road to join with the current alignment at Bayard. By 1935, US 1 was a straight shot between South Jacksonville and Bayard.
