This is one of Ontario's shortest Provincial highways, at just 1.5 km in length. The highway has been through a couple re-numberings throughout its history.
Highway 107 traces its history back to its equal-in-length predecessor, Highway 18B. It was re-designated as Highway 107 in 1953. Its purpose for existence was to connect Highway 18 to Highway 3. It was turned back in 1970. The road was re-designated as Essex County Road 45 from 1970 to 1997. Union Street was briefly re-uploaded as a Kings Highway, as a re-routing of Highway 18. This was not permanent, as Highway 18 was turned back on January 1, 1998, reverting back to County Road 45.
