History
When the route was first commissioned in 1930, it ran from North Platte, Nebraska to near Selden, Kansas. This route is now U.S. Highway 83.
From 1932 until I-90 was built in the 1960s, US 183's northern terminus was 10 miles (16 km) further west, in Vivian, South Dakota at an intersection with its parent, U.S. Highway 83. In 1940, the southern terminus was extended south to Junction, Texas. It reached its present endpoint in 1951. In 1952, it was rerouted between Throckmorton, Texas and Cisco, replacing part of SH 6 and Texas State Highway 187.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“These anyway might think it was important
That human history should not be shortened.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
