History
SR 664 made its debut in 1937. The original routing of this highway included the current stretch of SR 374 from its southern terminus at SR 56 southeast of South Bloomingville to the eastern intersection between SR 374 and SR 664, and the present routing of SR 664 from that point to its northern terminus at SR 256 north of Rushville. After just one year, State Route 664 was shortened when its southern terminus was moved to the present eastern junction of SR 374 and SR 664. This occurred as a result of SR 374 being extended from that location south along the former section of SR 664 to its present southern endpoint at SR 56.
In 1946, SR 664 took on the shape that it has today. From the eastern SR 374/SR 664 junction, SR 664 was routed west concurrent with SR 374 for a distance of more than 2 miles (3.2 km), then southwesterly along a previously un-numbered roadway to South Bloomingville and its present southern terminus at SR 56.
Starting in 2011, SR 664 is currently going through a major redirectioning. SR 664 is being rerouted around the parking lot of Old Man's Cave to prevent pedestrian collisions that are not uncommon to the stretch of road.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
