History
The West Virginia portion of the Bloomery Pike, WV 29 from U.S. Route 50 near Pleasant Dale to WV 127 in Forks of Cacapon as well as WV 127 from WV 29 to the state line, was once designated West Virginia Route 45. This explains why all Hampshire County secondary routes off WV 29 and WV 127 have 45 as their numerator.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
