History
In 1959, Legislative Route 279 was designated as a highway from La Jolla to Santee, and incorporated into the California Freeway and Expressway System. In the 1964 state highway renumbering, this became State Route 52. However, SR 52 took over fifty years to be constructed, due to delays in the planning and construction phases.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)
“American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
