History:

In the 1920s, State Highway 301 followed today's Route 124.

In 1932, the current Route 302 started as part of the original Route 34, which extended into Danbury. In 1935, US 202 was commissioned; its original route took over the the Newtown - Danbury section from Route 34. On May 1, 1974, US 202 was shifted north to its current route through New Milford and Torrington. The Newtown - Danbury stretch was divided among Route 53 and the new Route 302.
