History
The Wyoming Highway 216 designation was originally commissioned in 1926 in Weston and Crook counties. US 16 and Wyoming Highway 116 were created the same year. WYO 216 began as a state route, but was quickly added to the U.S. route system as US 216. However, in 1936, US 216 became part of US 16, and the US 216 designation was deleted.
