The Wilderness Road was established in the late 1700s primarily by Daniel Boone, an American frontiersman and explorer. He, along with a group of companions, blazed the trail through the Cumberland Gap, facilitating westward migration into Kentucky and beyond. This route became a critical pathway for settlers moving into the frontier, significantly contributing to the expansion of the United States. Boone's efforts helped open up new territories for settlement and exploration.
