Notes and History

ME 238 is one of Maine's later highways, a quasi-bypass route serving the eastern side of Southport Island that was not definitely signed until the late 1970s. An alignment corresponding to the future routing seems to have existed as early as 1935, but it does not appear that ME 27 (on the other side of Southport Island) ever used it as part of its own routing and the designation was ultimately established in 1975 (first appearing on the official state maps in 1976). Its routing appears to have remained unchanged. Despite being very late in the chronology, it is not the state's youngest route (Interstates excepted); this honour now goes to ME 26A.
