Established July 24, 1929
King's Highway 32, commonly referred to as Highway 32, was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The 19.6-kilometre (12.2 mi)-long route connected Highway 2 in Gananoque with Highway 15 east of Seeleys Bay, providing a quick alternative route between the two highways. It also featured an interchange with Highway 401. Highway 32 was assumed in 1929, and generally remained unchanged throughout its existence until 1998, when it was decommissioned and transferred to the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. It was subsequently redesignated as Leeds and Grenville County Road 32.
Highway 32 began at Highway 2 (King Street) in Gananoque and proceeded north for 19.6 km (12.2 mi) to Highway 15. Within Gananoque, the road was known as Stone Street North. An interchange with Highway 401 lay just north of the town, north of which the former highway travelled through farmland and forests. Today, the route is known as Leeds and Grenville County Road 32, and lays entirely within Leeds and the Thousand Islands with the exception to portion within the town of Gananoque.
Highway 32 was assumed on July 24, 1929, following the unimproved road between Gananoque and Highway 15. The route was improved with a gravel surface by 1937 and paved between 1942 and 1949.
