History
For two decades after the opening of the Pinellas Bayway on December 23, 1962, “A19A” signs lined the entire route (the east–west Pinellas Bayway originally had only SR A19A signs, while the other two parts had the A19A signs alongside – or above – the other, older State Road designation), but in the mid 1980s the Florida Department of Transportation removed them as part of a statewide reorganization of the State Roads system and gave the Pinellas Bayway its current designation. While FDOT no longer maintains an “A19A”, the numbering is still used locally (Pinellas County ordinances list A19A as synonymous for 66th Street south of Alternate US 19, and many commercial enterprises still refer to the Pinellas Bayway as “A19A” in their advertisements).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
—Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
