History
KY 880 was added to the State Secondary and Rural Secondary systems on 9 February 1983. On 6 April 1990, the Northwest Bypass, a 4.389-mile (7.063 km) segment of KY 880 between KY 185 and Tomblinson Way, was added to the State Secondary System. An additional 0.638 miles (1.027 km) were added to KY 880 on 18 May 1992.
On 9 August 1999, US 231 was rerouted onto KY 880 between its two junctions with KY 880 west and south of the city, forming a concurrency between the two routes. The former alignment of US 231 through Bowling Green was re-designated as US 231 Business.
In March 2008, a good deal of the former length of KY 880 was redesignated as new routing for, from west to east, US 68, KY 80, and US 231. The portion of the highway that was formerly conjoined with US 231 is now designated solely as that highway.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
