History
The section of US 4 from the Vermont state line to Andover (and NH 11 from Andover to Franklin) was first numbered in 1925 as an eastern extension of New England Route 14. From Franklin to Concord, New Hampshire the road was designated as Route 6 (now US 3), and from Concord to Northwood, New Hampshire it was Route 9 (now NH-9). Between Northwood and Dover, New Hampshire, the road was previously not numbered. From Dover to its eastern terminus at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the road used part of Route 16 (now New Hampshire Route 16).
