The King's Road originated as an Indian trail on a high sand ridge paralleling the Atlantic coast. South of St. Augustine it passed westward around the navigable sections of Moultrie and Moses creeks, and then crossed the wetlands that ran along the Matanzas River south of Pellicer Creek on built-up causeways.
