History
SR 292 was originally part of State Route 8A. That route, established by 1929, connected State Route 8 (now US 95) to Vya via Denio. SR 8A was realigned to bypass Denio by 1949, leaving the highway into Denio without a state highway number. The road was given the State Route 292 designation on July 1, 1976, in the renumbering of Nevada's state highway system. The new route number was not seen on official Nevada highway maps until 1993.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept....

In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
