In 1928, Pennsylvania Route 71 was signed as the section from Interstate 70 South at the Donora/Monessen Interchange to the current northern terminus at Pennsylvania Route 136 in West Newton. Also at that time, the stretch of road south of Interstate 70 was known as Pennsylvania Route 711. Then in 1964, the entire route got the numbering of Pennsylvania Route 201.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.
    Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
