History
The current route that SR 113 uses today was first state-maintained in 1937, during the creation of the Primary and secondary system as SSH 9A, extending from Sappho to Port Angeles. The Sappho–Clallam Bay segment was dropped from SSH 9A in 1955 and SSH 9A instead extended west to Neah Bay. SSH 9A later became SR 112 during the 1964 highway renumbering and SR 113 was assigned to a different route. In 1991, SR 113 was given the current route from Sappho to Clallam Bay and no further alignment changes have since happened.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
