History
Other than that one change, SR 4's definition has not changed. However, its route has been changed many times within the constraints of the 1923 law.
SR 4 began as the John Anderson Highway from Miami to Jacksonville, which became part of the east mainline of the Dixie Highway. It was the South Georgia Connector of the Dixie Highway north of Jacksonville.
In 1926, when the U.S. Highway System was being planned, U.S. Route 1 was assigned to the whole route.
In the 1945 renumbering, SR 4 became the following roads:
- SR 5 from Miami to Jacksonville
- SR 15 from Jacksonville to Georgia

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
