In 1922, state roads were given number designations in
New England for the first time. Modern Route 130 was originally part of
New England Route 1. In 1927, the
U.S. Highway system was created and New England Route 1 became part of
U.S. Route 1 (US 1). In 1932, an alternate route of US 1 (
US 1 Alt. was designated along North Avenue, Boston Avenue, and Barnum Avenue further inland (now modern US 1). In 1963, US 1A in the Bridgeport area was deleted and re-designated as US 1. The original US 1 alignment along Fairfield Avenue, State Street, and Stratford Avenue became unsigned state roads, with designations of SR 771 (Fairfield-Bridgeport) and SR 769 (Bridgeport-Stratford). In 1992, these were re-designated as modern Route 130. ==Major intersections==
