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:
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
