History
Iowa Highway 175 was originally nothing more than a very short spur from U.S. Route 65 to Hubbard but grew to absorb other routes. By 1955 it had extended westward to Nebraska. The final segment of Highway 175 was commissioned in 1969, extending the highway eastward from Hubbard to its present eastern terminus.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
