Kind of.

The El Camino Real, which is behind the Mission, was a dirt road that eventually stretched from Loreto Mexico to San Francisco, Gaspar de Portola traveled the route in 1769.

When they began to pave the roads in SJC in the early 1900's, OC's population was under 30,000.

When they started to build the Ortega Highway on the old stagecoach route, OC was still under 100,000.
