History of King's Highway 72A:

The actual existence of King's Highway 72A has not yet been confirmed. A historical reference has been found recently that suggests that the Patricia to Hudson portion of Highway 72 may have actually been signed as Highway 72A before being redesignated as Highway 116 in 1954. If anyone can confirm how the Patricia-Hudson Highway was actually signed prior to 1954, it would be greatly appreciated. Until further information comes to light, it will be assumed that the route of the Patricia-Hudson Highway was indeed signed as Highway 72 between 1937 and 1954.
