History

The road connecting Willimantic to Union via Mansfield Center and Westford was designated as State Highway 146 in 1922. In the 1932 state highway renumbering, State Highway 146 was renumbered to Route 89, with a southward extension from Willimantic to Lebanon, ending at modern Route 87. This early Route 89 followed modern Route 289 from Lebanon to Willimantic, then modern Route 195 to Mansfield Center then modern Route 89 to its current end in Union, with the exception of a section north of Westford village that used Waterfall Road instead of Ferrence Road.

In 1942, the Waterfall Road alignment in Ashford was relocated to its current route over Turnpike and Ferrence Roads. In 1964, Route 195 was extended along Route 89 from Mansfield Center to Willimantic. The southern terminus of Route 89 was moved to its current location, with the former section of Route 89 south of the Route 32-Route 66 overlap re-designated as Route 289.
