History
Before the 1964 renumbering, this route was signed as Sign Route 12 for most of its length. However, SR 12 was designated as LRN 51 from SR 116 to SR 121 before the 1964 renumbering. Portions of the route from SR 29 to I-80 ran concurrently with State Route 29 or with State Route 37; this was also LRN 8 and a former routing of U.S. 40. The portion from I-80 to then-US 99 was designated as LRN 53 in 1919; from US 99 to SR 49, it was designated as LRN 24.
In 1976, the discontinuity resulting from the concurrency with State Route 84 was removed.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
