CT 364

4.56 miles; from Route 120 in Southington to Route 71 in Berlin.

History:

In the 1920s, State Highway 364 followed today's Route 163 between Routes 82 and 32 in Montville.

Today's Route 364 was not a state highway at all until July 1962, when the state announced the formation of SR 564, a route the state would maintain but not post with a route number. This change was in the midst of a statewide reclassification of highways.

A year later, however, SR 564 was given a signed route number: 364. Its numbering was the luck of the draw, but Route 364 reigned as the highest signed state route number in Connecticut until Nov. 6, 1980, when Route 372 was designated.
