I feel I could have worded the title better. NH was the first place EVER to use salt on its roads (or at least in recorded history).

Also, that's a useless comparison. We don't eat our roads, and we don't worry about slippery food.

I think it’s just a surprising fact to people because salt is in almost everything we eat and a lot of places don’t get snow or ice so don’t salt the roads.
