History

The route was commissioned in 1932 as Route 93, including the portion into Massachusetts. In 1959, the route was renumbered to Route 169 in both Connecticut and Massachusetts because the route number was to be used for Interstate 93. Route 169 was designated as a National Scenic Byway in 1992.
