In the pre-Interstate era, Indiana 62 between Evansville and New Albany was also U.S. Highway 460, a heavily-traveled route between St. Louis, Missouri and Louisville, Kentucky before Interstate 64 supplanted it as a through route.
The highway forms part of the Lincoln Heritage Trail.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
