History
The state legislature defined State Route 152 in 1933 on a route that began at 2700 South, followed Highland Drive and 6200 South to Knudsen's Corner, and then entered Big Cottonwood Canyon via Big Cottonwood Canyon Road to end at the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest boundary. In 1941, it was extended east in the forest to Brighton, and in 1945 the connection from Highland Drive to the canyon was moved south to Fort Union Boulevard. A short truncation at the north end was made in 1957, making the new terminus the intersection of Highland Drive and 1300 East (SR-181). In order to provide access to the new Wasatch Mountain State Park, SR-152 was extended east from Brighton in 1963, following an existing county road over Guardsman Pass to end at SR-224. By 1968, the Van Winkle Expressway (then known as the Cottonwood Diagonal) had been completed, and SR-181 was being reconstructed, making the Highland Drive portion of SR-152 redundant. The State Road Commission truncated SR-152 to the south end of the expressway near 6200 South, in exchange for an extension of SR-195 to Holladay, and the next year the legislature designated the expressway as part of SR-152, giving it a new northern terminus at 900 East (SR-71). Finally, in 1987, a piece in the middle of SR-152, from I-215 south and east to Wasatch Boulevard (SR-210), was removed from the state highway system and replaced by proposed 6200 South and Wasatch Boulevard between I-215 and Big Cottonwood Canyon Road. To avoid an overlap of SR-152 on I-215, the new roadway became an extension of SR-210, and former SR-152 from Wasatch Boulevard to SR-224 became a new SR-190. (The next year, the extension of SR-210 was instead redesignated as part of SR-190.)

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
