In 1941, State Route 640 made its debut along the path that it maintains to this day between Willowick and Willoughby in western Lake County. State Route 640 replaced the stretch of roadway that was designated as State Route 288 prior to 1941. No changes of major significance have taken place to the route since its inception.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
