History
SBI Route 119 originally ran from Heyworth (at the present-day intersection of U.S. Route 51 and U.S. 136) to the Indiana line using U.S. 136 and Illinois 119. In 1937, it replaced Illinois Route 119A and Illinois Route 122 west to Havana at the Illinois River. In 1951, however, U.S. 136 was established across the state of Illinois. U.S. 136 took over all of Illinois 119 west of Illinois 1, leaving the short route to Indiana.

This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;

Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
