History
The entire length of Vermont 129 was originally designated as VT F-2 in 1926. VT F-2 originally went from US 2 to a ferry across Lake Champlain to Chazy, New York. Many of the F-x series routes along the shores of Lake Champlain were changed to new designations in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. VT F-2 was redesignated by 1947 as VT 129. Between 1947 and 2008, VT 129 was truncated to School Street on Isle La Motte.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
