Notes and History
ME 167 as originally designated in 1925 ran between Lincoln at NEI 15 (now US 2) and the Canadian/New Brunswick border at Vanceboro via Topsfield. After the Maine Great Renumbering, this routing became part of new route ME 16 and the number lapsed until 1936 when it was assigned to a new routing from Presque Isle (see ME 163) to then-ME 165 (now US 1A) south of Fort Fairfield. Originally entering Presque Isle along ME 163's initial routing into town on Blake and Fort Sts; it eventually moved north to North St (see ME 163 for the history of these alignments), which it now inhabits alone.
In 1940, with the designation of US 1A over that section of old ME 161, ME 167 was given the orphaned alignment of ME 161 from Fort Fairfield to the Canadian border (which it kept even after US 1A was moved to take over the rest of old ME 165 later) by co-routing it along with US 1A into Fort Fairfield, and it still crosses into New Brunswick today as NB 167.
ME 167's original routing into Fort Fairfield was via Conant Rd, and the US 1A/ME 167 junction was at the corner of Conant and what is now Presque Isle St. Approximately 1984-6, ME 167 was shifted south to a shortened cutoff alignment along Fort Fairfield Rd and the US 1A junction moved to its present location. NAVTEQ continues to show both routings.
