History
The road from SR-1 (by 1926 US-91, now SR-160) in Beaver west to Milford was added to the state highway system in 1910, and it was extended west to Newhouse in 1916. The state legislature assigned the SR-21 designation to the route in 1927, and continued it northwest from Newhouse to the Nevada state line, where it became SR 73 towards Ely. In 1941, SR-21 was extended east from Beaver to US-89 at Junction, but this became SR-153 in 1945.
A loop through Greenville was created as SR-127 in 1931 and renumbered State Route 126 in 1933, following a road from SR-21 south to Greenville and then heading west on that community's Main Street back to SR-21. The east–west portion was removed in 1953, and in 1969 the remainder was removed from the state highway system.
Another loop - State Route 129 - was created in 1933, heading south from SR-21 in Milford along Adams Street (which would normally be Main Street in the local grid) to a point on the Milford Flat, then east on 4500 South back to SR-21. It too ceased to be a state highway in 1969.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
