History
Prior to being designated US 4, the road from Whitehall, New York eastward through Vermont was New England Interstate Route 13 (NE-13). From the Vermont-New Hampshire state line to Franklin, New Hampshire, it was the eastern extension of NE-14. From Franklin to Concord, New Hampshire it used NE-6 (now US 3), and from Concord to Northwood, New Hampshire it used NE-9 (now NH-9). Between Northwood and Dover, New Hampshire, it used a road that was previously not numbered. From Dover to its eastern terminus at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the road used to be known as NE-16 (now NH-16).
