History
The segment of present day SR 266 from Oasis to the Nevada state line (now Nevada State Route 264) was incorporated into the State Highway System in 1931 as Legislative Route 63; it had formed part of the Midland Trail, one of the first auto trails crossing the entire country. The route remained unchanged until 1965, when in that year the route's name was designated as Mono County Road 101. In 1984, the definition was modified to redesignate the segment as an extension of State Route 168 in order for that route to be connected to Nevada. Two years later, in 1986, there was a construction of a new segment traveling east from Oasis and connecting to Nevada State Route 266. When the extension was complete, the two segments – the SR 168 extension and the newly completed – were assigned SR 266.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
