History
Route 130 at Aroostook

Route 130 was created in 1965 as a short spur from the Trans-Canada Highway into Grand Falls. When a new 4-lane TCH was opened in 2007, the route was extended by over 95 km south from Grand Falls along the former TCH to Aroostook, along a formerly unnumbered route (part of the original Route 2 until the 1960s) from Aroostook to Southern Victoria, the former TCH again from Southern Victoria to Somerville (near Hartland), and a new access road that meets up with the new highway at Waterville.
