Ontario Highway 19
King's Highway 19, commonly referred to as Highway 19, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. Highway 19 currently runs from Tillsonburg north to a point near Ingersoll. The total length of Highway 19 is presently 18.8 km (11.7 mi), which is very similar to its original length in the 1930s (starting at Highway 2 in the north, and ending at Highway 3 in the south). The highway originally began as the Plank and Gravel Road, a toll road formed by the Ingersoll and Port Burwell Road Company.

Famous quotes containing the word highway:
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
