US 1A was formerly the main line of US 1 between Stockton Springs and Ellsworth. The current US 1 routing was then (and still is) part of Route 3, and later became an incarnation of 1A. The two designations were switched in 1963.
Guide
Business 1A
An unsigned, but officially designated, business loop of 1A exists
in downtown Bangor and Brewer. It follows Main, Hammond, Exchange and
Washington Streets to the Penobscot River Bridge to Brewer, using State
Street to meet back up with mainline 1A. If you zoom in to Bangor on the
Google map above, Business 1A's route is in brown.
