History
The first highway that would later become SR 128 was Secondary State Highway 3K (SSH 3K), which was first designated in 1937. The road ran from Pomeroy in Garfield County southeast to Peola and later northeast to Clarkston, terminating at Primary State Highway 3 (PSH 3), co-signed with U.S. Route 410 (US 410) at both termini. During the 1964 highway renumbering, SSH 3K became SR 128, which ran 42.19 miles (67.90 km); the current route of the highway was occupied by SR 193, which was Secondary State Highway 3G from 1969 to 1970. In 1990, SR 193 was shortened from the Red Wolf Crossing to the Idaho state line, which SR 128 was extended over. A year after the extension to Idaho, SR 128 was shortened from Pomeroy to Clarkston along its current route, a loss of 42.19 miles (67.90 km) in total.
