History
KY 880 was added to the State Secondary and Rural Secondary systems on 9 February 1983. On 6 April 1990, the Northwest Bypass, a 4.389-mile (7.063 km) segment of KY 880 between KY 185 and Tomblinson Way, was added to the State Secondary System. An additional 0.638 miles (1.027 km) were added to KY 880 on 18 May 1992.
On 9 August 1999, US 231 was rerouted onto KY 880 between its two junctions with KY 880 west and south of the city, forming a concurrency between the two routes. The former alignment of US 231 through Bowling Green was re-designated as US 231 Business.
In March 2008, a good deal of the former length of KY 880 was redesignated as new routing for, from west to east, US 68, KY 80, and US 231. The portion of the highway that was formerly conjoined with US 231 is now designated solely as that highway.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
