[edit] History

The original New England Route 30 (NE-30) ran from Granville, New York through Poultney, Vermont (via New York State Route 22A), continuing north past Burlington, all the way to Alburg. The northern sections of NE-30 were assigned in 1926 to U.S. Route 7 from Middlebury to Burlington, and to U.S. Route 2 from Burlington to Alburg. Soon after that, Vermont extended the Route 30 designation southeast to its current Brattleboro terminus. (Route 30 to Brattleboro had been in place by 1933.)^[2][3]
