[edit] History

From 1922 until 1926, New England Route 30 (NE-30) (part of the New England Route system) 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]
