California Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The branch of the California Trail John Fremont followed from Westport Landing to the Wakarusa Valley south of Lawrence, Kansas became regionally known as the California Road.
The crossing of the east-west California Road with the north-south Texas Road formed a natural point of settlement in Tobucksy County of the Choctaw Nation, a site originally called Bucklucksy. James Jackson McAlester, an employee of licensed traders Reynolds and Hannaford convinced the firm to locate a general store at that location in late 1869. This settlement eventually became McAlester, Oklahoma.
