History
Prior to November 2001, the current segment of Nebraska Highway 57 north of its present junction with Nebraska Highway 59 was a part of Nebraska Highway 15. The old route for Highway 57 went east from its current intersection with Highway 59, then turned north at what is now the intersection of U.S. 20, Highway 59 and Highway 15 north of Laurel. The highway then went north and ended at Highway 12. In November 2001, the routes for Highway 57 and Highway 15 were swapped so Highway 15 could align with the Vermillion-Newcastle Bridge, which opened that month. The east–west segment which carried both of those highways then became Highway 59.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
