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:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
