History
SBI Route 111 originally ran from Waverly to Alton on modern-day Illinois 111. In 1942, it was extended south to Fairmont City. In 1953, it was extended further south to near East Saint Louis, which became Centreville. In 2001, when U.S. Route 67 was moved west through Jerseyville, Illinois Route 267 took its place north of Medora. Some time after, Illinois 267 was applied south along with Illinois 111 on a concurrency.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)

“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
