History
NH 113's historic terminus was at the state line, joining US-302 in Conway, continuing a few miles eastward and abruptly ending at the border, and the road continued east as standalone US-302. This also meant that, upon US-302 crossing westbound into New Hampshire, Route 113 simply showed up on signs with US-302. Aside from this concurrency being completely unnecessary, the signage also proves potentially confusing, as US-302 intersects Maine State Route 113 just a few miles east of the border. Maine's Route 113, despite the fact that it does cross into New Hampshire twice, is unrelated to New Hampshire's Route 113.
The state has since truncated Route 113 to end at the intersection with US-302 in Conway, officially eliminating the concurrency. However, as of August 2011, signage had not been updated to reflect this change.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“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.)
