History
US 466 was commissioned in 1935, extending from U.S. Route 66 in Kingman, Arizona to the Pacific Ocean at Morro Bay, California. Between Las Vegas, Nevada and Barstow, California, the route was co-signed with U.S. Route 91. In 1951, the U.S. Route 93 designation was extended to include the section of US 466 from its eastern terminus at Kingman, Arizona to the US 91 junction in Las Vegas, Nevada. This left the California segment as the only section of the route not co-signed with another route.
In 1964, California deleted the US 466 designation. Arizona eliminated the designation in 1969. When Nevada followed suit in 1971, the route ceased to exist.
