Florida State Road 707
State Road 707 is the Florida Department of Transportation designation of a 2.2-mile (3.5 km) stretch of the former Dixie Highway (US 1) between the roundabout with Joan Jefferson Way in Stuart and Martin County Road 707 and Martin County Road 723 in Jensen Beach in Martin County, Florida. The road continues in both directions as Martin County Road 707.
Although sometimes called Old Dixie Highway, this is a misnomer because the present US 1 has always been called Federal Highway, not Dixie Highway, in Martin County. Its correct local street name is Dixie Highway.

“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
“A perfect personality ... is only possible in a state of society where man is free to choose the mode of work, the conditions of work, and the freedom to work. One to whom the making of a table, the building of a house, or the tilling of the soil, is what the painting is to the artist and the discovery to the scientist,—the result of inspiration, of intense longing, and deep interest in work as a creative force.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“My father and mother in 1817 were forty-nine days on the road with their emigrant wagons [from Vermont] to Ohio. More than two days for each hour that I spent in the same journey.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
