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:
“The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
