Highway 19 parallels U.S. Highway 14 and U.S. Highway 212 for part of its route.

History

State Highway 19 was authorized in 1933.

The last section of Highway 19 to be paved was in the mid-1950s, east of New Prague.

The stretch of Highway 19 between Red Wing and Gaylord was established as the Colvill Memorial Highway in 1931,[3] and is still known by that name today.[4] It is named in honor of Colonel William J. Colvill, who led the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry in the Battle of Gettysburg.[5]

A new interchange was constructed in 2002 at the junction of Highway 19 and U.S. Highway 169 near Henderson.
