History
The state legislature created State Route 80 in 1935, connecting SR-1 (US-91, now I-15/US-89) near Point of the Mountain with SR-74 south of Alpine. An extension in 1941 took SR-92 east to the Uinta National Forest boundary in American Fork Canyon, replacing a short piece of SR-146 (created in 1933) from SR-74 to the mouth of the canyon. At the other end of the highway, State Route 168 was built in 1933 as a forest road and numbered in 1935, connecting SR-7 (US-189) with Aspen Grove. SR-80 was extended through the forest to SR-7, absorbing SR-168, in 1953. Because the number 80 was needed for I-80, SR-80 was renumbered SR-92 in the 1977 renumbering.

“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
