Creation:  Appeared in Sept 1964 (CTB) as a renumbering of VA 119 running from US 220 Cave Spring to US 11 ALT Salem. This is the 3rd VA 419.
Adjustments:  In Feb 1966 (CTB), VA 419 was largely rebuilt from US 220 to US 11 onto the current routing. This left behind SR 904 Starkey Rd; SR 613 Merriman Rd; SR 897 Crystal Creek Dr; US 221; Old Cave Spring Rd; all the McIvity Rd segments between US 221 and US 11 near the Roanoke River. Officials didn't start showing this change until 1971.
In Dec 1968 (CTB), VA 419 was extended north as new construction to I-81, then replaced VA 116 from I-81 to VA 311.

VA 419 #2: Appeared in June 1964 (CTB), as an upgrade to SR 694 in Halifax County, running from US 58 south to the North Carolina Line. The designation was meant to be temporry pending action by the Cities of Salem and Roanoke regarding longtime-VA 119 there.
In Sept 1964 (CTB), VA 419 was renumbered as VA 119 in a route swap. No map I have seen shows VA 419 here but the Sept 1964 CTB minutes clearly indicate 419 was the number in Halifax County.
