From Route 12 in Thompson to MA 12 (same road, actually) in Webster, Mass. 6.63 miles in Connecticut. It wouldn't be a stretch to have called it Route 12A. |

At Thompson center and Route 200, Route 193 is part of the Boston Turnpike, a stagecoach toll road that connected Hartford and Boston. The turnpike was incorporated in 1797 and tolls were collected until about 1879. | |

In the 1920s, most of Route 193 was called State Highway 336. State Highway 193 at the time was the name for Center Street in Easton, which from 1932 to 1963 was called Route 106. In 1932, the modern Route 193 was created, and has not changed noticeably; though its official length did decrease by 0.03 miles between 1954 and 1978. | |
