History
The east–west highway connecting U.S. Route 7 (now VT 7A) in Arlington to New York State Route 313 at the New York state line was added to the Vermont state highway system as part of the 1935 state highway system expansion and initially designated as VT 123. The route became part of VT 11 by 1938, which was then co-designated as VT 313 from New York to Arlington by 1940. VT 11 was truncated to Manchester between 1947 and 1952, leaving only the VT 313 designation on the New York – Arlington highway. In the late 1970s, US 7 was realigned onto a new limited-access highway through most of southwestern Vermont. The new highway bypassed Arlington to the east. In 1978, VT 313 was extended eastward by way of VT 7A and a new roadway to meet the new routing of US 7.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
