History
The road was designated Pennsylvania State Route 739 in 1967 and has kept the designation since then. In 1978, the road just south of Interstate 84 to two miles (3 km) north of Dingmans Ferry was paved. From 1999 and before, the intersection with PA 434 used to be with PA 1001. The road was changed to State Route 434 on the 2003 Pike County Maps. The southern designation of PA 739, State Quadrant Route 2019, first appeared on the PennDOT's maps of Pike County in 1993. That designation has existed ever since.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
