History
SR 19 was designated in 1991 to serve the Jefferson County International Airport and connect to SR 116 in Port Hadlock-Irondale. The highway was formally added to the state highway system on April 1, 1992. The route of SR 19 roughly follows an existing unpaved road built by the 1950s and paved in the 1960s.

Figuring the natures of the times deceased,

With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
