History
In 1917, Main Market route number 1 was given to the north–south section and Main Market route number 2 was the given to the east–west route that SR 933 takes today. Main Market 2 was also known as the Lincoln highway. In 1926, at the creation of the U.S. Routes, SR 1 was changed to US 31 and the east–west stayed as SR 2. Then the SR 2 section became US 33 in 1935, US 33 was concurrent with US 31 north of Sample Street.
In 1998, the US 20 bypass opened around Elkhart and South Bend and INDOT tried to decommission US 33 north of US 20 to the Michigan state line and give control of the roads to local jurisdiction in Elkhart County and St. Joseph County. Local jurisdiction in Elkhart County, mainly the city of Elkhart, accepted jurisdiction of the road. While St. Joseph County did not accept local jurisdiction and the road became SR 933 within St Joseph County. Then in 2004, INDOT tried to decommission SR 933, once again St. Joseph County did not accept local jurisdiction and the road stayed SR 933.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“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)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
