King's Highway 107 was one of Ontario's shortest provincially maintained highways, at just 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) in length. The highway has been through several 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.
The road originated as Highway 18B in 1937. In 1953, it was re-designated as Highway 107. It was also just 1.5 km in length.
To simplify the re-designations throughout the history of this road, they are listed below:
