History
Other than that one change, SR 4's definition has not changed. However, its route has been changed many times within the constraints of the 1923 law.
SR 4 began as the John Anderson Highway from Miami to Jacksonville, which became part of the east mainline of the Dixie Highway. It was the South Georgia Connector of the Dixie Highway north of Jacksonville.
In 1926, when the U.S. Highway System was being planned, U.S. Route 1 was assigned to the whole route.
In the 1945 renumbering, SR 4 became the following roads:
- SR 5 from Miami to Jacksonville
- SR 15 from Jacksonville to Georgia
