History of King's Highway 18B (Ruthven):

King's Highway 18B was a very short connector highway in the Leamington area which linked Highway 18 to Highway 3 in Ruthven. The route was only 1.5 km in length, making it one of the shortest King's Highways to ever exist in Ontario. Highway 18B shares this honour with the route's subsequent designation, Highway 107. This tiny highway was assumed by the Department of Highways on August 25, 1937. In 1953, Highway 18B was renumbered as Highway 107. A different, unrelated Highway 18B existed in Amherstburg.
