Trail ran from Manhattan, New York to Lake Erie!
During a tour of the city of New York it was commented that today’s famous Broadway was once an Indian trail that snaked through rocks and swamps along the length of Manhattan Island. It was then called The Wickquasgeck Trail by colonists where notes record “seeing the Lenni Lenape (true people) passing every day”. The trail continued on up through today’s Yonkers, to Tarrytown, and on to Albany where it joined the Mohawk (Iroquois) Trail. The Mohawk Trail ran via River Valley, a natural route to the west from Albany to Lake Erie.
The Dutch renamed the trail from Wickquasgeck (the Lenape clans that lived in the area) to Breede weg which translated to Broadway.
Broadway is known worldwide as the heart of the American theatre industry.
