History
The length of VT 225 was designated as part of VT 104, a highway extending from VT 15 in Cambridge north to the Canadian border near Alburgh, by 1938. VT 104 was truncated on its northern end to St. Albans in the mid-to-late 1950s, at which time the former routing of VT 104 between Alburgh and the Canadian border was redesignated VT 68. It was renumbered to VT 225 between 1976 and 1985 to match the designation of the highway it connected to (Quebec Route 225) in Quebec.
