History
Iowa Highway 333 was originally a 9-mile (14 km) long spur route from U.S. Route 59 to Northboro. By the late 1940s, Iowa 333 extended 34 miles (55 km) from U.S. Route 275 to U.S. Route 71 near College Springs. In 1970, all of Iowa 333 west of US 59 was turned over to Fremont County. In 1980, however, Iowa 333 was extended west to Interstate 29 from US 59 and turned over to Fremont and Page County east of US 59. Iowa 333 was 14 miles (23 km) long between 1980 and 2003. On 1 July 2003, all of Iowa 333 east of US 275 was turned over to Fremont County. Most of Iowa 333's former route is known as County Road J64.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
