History
K-26 was established by 1941 and originally began at US 69 in Crestline and ended at US 66 in Riverton. The road was previously designated as K-96 and was already paved at establishment. By 1951, K-26 was extended east along US 66 to Galena, then south on its current alignment to US 166. When US 66 was decommissioned, the segment between Crestline and Riverton became US 69 Alternate, and the section between Riverton and Galena was marked as K-66.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am not a literary man.... I am a man of science, and I am interested in that branch of Anthropology which deals with the history of human speech.”
—J.A.H. (James Augustus Henry)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“There are two great unknown forces to-day, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman.”
—Josephine K. Henry, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 15, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
