History
Prior to 1963, part of the route, from the Bloomfield line to Route 75, was an unsigned but state-maintained road known as SR 905 (which became a state road in 1959). Initially, the state had planned to turn over SR 905 to Windsor but when the final decisions for the 1962 Route Reclassification Act were announced, it was instead retained in the state highway system, with the continuation in Bloomfield also taken over by the state. At the beginning of 1963, SR 905 was renumbered as Route 305, officially becoming a signed route. Route 305 has had no significant changes since.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
