History
State Highway 150 first appeared on the 1965 Oklahoma highway map. The highway originally served as a spur from Interstate 40 (the adjacent section of which appeared on the state map at the same time as SH-150) to Fountainhead State Park, as Eufaula State Park was known at the time. By 1971, SH-150 was extended southeastward, connecting to US-69. No further changes to the highway have occurred since that time.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
