Route 19 begins as East Street at an intersection with Route 190 in the village of Stafford Springs. It heads northward, meeting Route 319 after about 2.1 miles (3.4 km) in the village of Stafford Hollow. Route 19 then heads northeast for another 2.1 miles (3.4 km), passing through the village of Hydeville, up to the village of Staffordville. In Staffordville, Route 19 turns north along Wales Road, passing along the Staffordville Reservoir towards the Massachusetts state line. Across the state line the road continues as Massachusetts Route 19 (Stafford Road) heading into the town center of Wales. Route 19 is a two-lane road with an average daily traffic of 3,800.[2]
Route 19 was originally part of New England Interstate Route 32, a multi-state route established in 1922 that ran from the mouth of the Thames River at Long Island Sound to Lake Sunapee in New Hampshire. In the 1932 state highway renumbering, modern Route 32 was established from most of the Connecticut portion of the old New England route. One place where the alignment of modern Route 32 differed was in the town of Stafford. The newly established Route 32 used the alignment of old State Highway 334, which ran through the village of Orcuttsville towards Monson, Massachusetts. The section of old Route 32 through Staffordville was designated as Route 19. The number change was done in cooperation with Massachusetts, which also renumbered the continuation as Route 19.[3]
The entire route is in Stafford.

Oregon Route 19 is an Oregon state highway in the north-central part of the state. It runs from a junction with U.S. Route 26 in Grant County, near the Sheep Rock Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument to Interstate 84 at Arlington in the Columbia River Gorge. OR 19 traverses the northern portion of the John Day Highway No. 5 of the Oregon state highway system and follows the John Day River from the southern terminus to Service Creek. The route has two brief overlaps with Oregon Route 206 and Oregon Route 207, both on the portions of those routes included in the Wasco-Heppner Highway No. 300.
Milepoints are as reported by ODOT and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. Z indicates overlapping mileage due to construction longer than established route, and – indicates negative mileage behind established beginning point. For routes traversing multiple named state highways, each milepoint is preceded by the corresponding state highway number.
Route 19 is a long state highway in Missouri. Its northern terminus is at U.S. Route 61 in New London and its southern terminus is at U.S. Route 63 on the north side of Thayer. Route 19 is one of Missouri's original 1922 highways, though it initially had a northern terminus at Route 14 (now Interstate 44) in Cuba and was later extended north.
Route 19 begins at U.S. Route 61 in New London. It then travels mainly south, forming an 8 mile concurrency with U.S. Route 54, 3 miles west of Farber. The highway intersects Interstate 70 near New Florence. It crosses the Missouri River on the Christopher S. Bond Bridge at Hermann. There is a concurrency with Missouri Route 100 through Hermann. It then forms a brief 1 mile concurrency with U.S. Route 50 at Drake. Through Owensville there is a concurrency with Route 28. The highway intersects Interstate 44 at Cuba. South of Cuba, the highway is designated as a scenic highway. It forms a concurrency with Route 8 through Steelville. It passes through the Ozark National Scenic Riverways and portions of the Mark Twain National Forest. The highway overlaps U.S. Route 60 in Winona and U.S. Route 160 in Alton. The highway terminates at U.S. Route 63 in Thayer.
Connecticut (i/kəˈnɛtᵻkət/ kə-NET-i-kət) is the southernmost state in the region of the United States known as New England. Connecticut is also often grouped along with New York and New Jersey as the Tri-State area. It is bordered by Rhode Island to the east, Massachusetts to the north, New York to the west, and Long Island Sound to the south. Its capital city is Hartford, and its most populous city is Bridgeport. The state is named after the Connecticut River, a major U.S. river that approximately bisects the state. The word "Connecticut" is derived from various anglicized spellings of an Algonquian word for "long tidal river."
Connecticut is the third smallest state by area, the 29th most populous, and the fourth most densely populated of the 50 United States. It is known as the "Constitution State", the "Nutmeg State", the "Provisions State", and the "Land of Steady Habits". It was influential in the development of the federal government of the United States. Much of southern and western Connecticut (along with the majority of the state's population) is part of the New York metropolitan area: three of Connecticut's eight counties are statistically included in the New York City combined statistical area, which is widely referred to as the Tri-State area. Connecticut's center of population is in Cheshire, New Haven County, which is also located within the Tri-State area.
The Connecticut River is the longest river in the New England region of the United States. Flowing roughly southward for 406.12 miles (653.59 km) through four U.S. states, the Connecticut rises at the U.S. border with Quebec, Canada, and discharges at Long Island Sound. Its watershed encompasses five U.S. states and one Canadian province – 11,260 square miles (29,200 km2) – via 148 tributaries, 38 of which are major rivers. Discharging at 19,600 cubic feet (560 m3) per second, the Connecticut produces 70% of Long Island Sound's freshwater.
The Connecticut River Valley is home to some of the northeastern United States' most productive farmland, as well as a metropolitan region of approximately 2 million people surrounding Springfield, Massachusetts, and the state of Connecticut's capital, Hartford.
The word "Connecticut" is a French corruption of the Mohegan word quinetucket, which means "beside the long, tidal river". The word "Connecticut" came into existence during the early 1600s, describing the river, which was also called simply "The Great River".
