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:
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“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)
