History of King's Highway 119:
King's Highway 119 was a short highway that connected Richan to Highway 17 near Dryden. The highway was 23 km in length when it was first assumed by the
Department of Highways on January 18, 1956. The road remained gravel-surfaced until 1974, when the southern portion was paved. The northern portion was not
paved until years later, making Highway 119 one of the last King's Highways in Ontario to retain gravel-surfaced sections. Since Highway 119 served only a
local purpose, it was decided in the early 1970s that the route should be redesignated as a Secondary Highway. Highway 119 was redesignated as Secondary
Highway 665 in 1975.
