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 work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Attributed to Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
