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.
