EH.Net Encyclopedia: Turnpikes and Toll Roads in Nineteenth-Century America (6332 words)
There were three especially important episodes of toll road construction: the turnpike era of the eastern states 1792 to 1845; the plank road boom 1847 to 1853; and the toll road of the far West 1850 to 1902.
Counties were allowed "to set tolls at rates not to prevent a return of 20 percent," but they did not interfere with the location of toll roads and usually looked favorably on the toll road companies.
In nineteenth century America, "turnpike" specifically means a toll road with a surface of gravel and earth, as opposed to "plank roads" which refer to toll roads surfaced by wooden planks.
