History
The road which is now Route 192 was constructed under the State Bond Issue bill of 1924 as part of Illinois Route 84, which was originally designated from the state line at Muscatine, Iowa to Taylor Ridge. The route was first included on Illinois highway maps in 1924. It was marked on state maps as part of Route 84 in 1929 and became part of Illinois Route 92 by 1939. Route 92 was realigned to the north in 1955, and Route 192 was designated on its former alignment from west of Edgington to U.S. Route 67. The route originally formed a concurrency with Route 94 from Route 192's present eastern terminus to US 67. Route 192 was shortened to its present length by 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
