Notes and History |
ME 113 is unique for its bizarre meandering routing back
and forth over the state line,
although as originally designated in 1925 it only ran between its modern
southern terminus at Standish at NEI 25 (now ME 25) and Fryeburg at
NEI 18 (now US 302). The later circuitous routing
dancing out into New Hampshire
and back into Maine to terminate in Gilead at US 2 was added
partially in 1937 to Stow, crossing the border twice,
and from Stow entering New Hampshire as what is now NH 113B
[see "ME 113B"]; the old
connector road to modern NH 113B is no longer numbered highway but is
maintained as townway. Extended to Gilead and US 2 through Stow and
crossing the border twice more, it reached its present-day
extent in 1940-1 along the modern alignment.
In New Hampshire, examination of the routing of NH 113 shows it is actually
unrelated to ME 113; this is a similar situation to ME 153, although the
situation is more confused here as NH 113 is geographically close by.
