History
Route 178 was commissioned in 1932, running from the intersection of School Street and Park Avenue in Bloomfield to its current eastern terminus. In 1963, the east–west portion of former Route 184, which is mostly modern Route 178 west of School Street, was absorbed by Route 178. The west end of former Route 184 used West Street and Mountain Avenue instead of Loeffler Road. This was reconfigured to the current Loeffler Road alignment in 1965, with the former alignment becoming town roads.

“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
