History
Highway 34 has a very tame history, having been assumed in 1930 and remaining unchanged between then and the highway downloads of the late 1990s.
On November 26, 1930, the Department of Highways assumed the road between Lancaster and Hawkesbury as King's Highway 34, providing a connection between Highway 2 and Highway 17 immediately west of the Ontario–Quebec border. The route was 55.7 kilometres (34.6 mi) long at the time of its assumption. Highway 34 remained unchanged for over 60 years, before the portion south of Highway 417 was decommissioned. On January 1, 1998, the section of Highway 34 within the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry was transferred to that jurisdiction. It has since been redesignated as County Road 34.
