History
In the original 1926 plan for the U.S. highway system, US 730 went from U.S. Route 30 east of Umatilla, Oregon to U.S. Route 410 south of Wallula, Washington. In 1945, a new section of US 30 was built, which made US 730's west end at US 30 in Boardman, Oregon. Later in 1962, there was a plan to extend U.S. Route 12 westward towards the Pacific Ocean. One of the plans involved using US 730 as part of US 12, therefore removing US 730 from the system. Another plan, which used US 410 in Washington instead of US 730, was accepted in 1967. In 1966, US 730's terminus was changed to its current western end at I-84/US 30.
From 1937 to 1986, U.S. Route 395 was co-signed with US 730 from Umatilla to Wallula. The portion of US 730 in Washington state was signed as the Wallula branch of Primary State Highway 3.

“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
