When it existed; US 830 was the highest numbered route in the U.S. Highway system (and remains the highest U.S. route number ever used). The highest numbered route still in existence is U.S. Route 730.
The stretch of (former) U.S. 830 which is now Interstate 5 was at one point co-signed with U.S. Route 99. The stretch of 830 between Maryhill and Dallesport, Washington was formerly co-signed with U.S. Route 197; now Dallesport is the northern terminus of 197.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
