History
The southern half of modern Route 203 (from Route 32 to the north junction with Route 14) was part of the Windham and Mansfield Turnpike, which was chartered in 1800. In 1922, when Connecticut first assigned route numbers to its main roads, the road from South Windham to North Windham was designated as 'State Highway 222'. In the 1932 state highway renumbering, old Highway 222 was renumbered to Route 203.
