U.S. Route 195 - History

History

US 195 was established and planned in the original 1926 plan for the U.S. highway system. When US 195 was established, the highway combined different highways together. In Idaho, US 195 was co-signed with U.S. Route 95 and a short segment of Sampson Trail Y. In Washington, US 195 was co-signed with PSH 3 ED, part of PSH 3 CP, and part of PSH 3. The original northern terminus was in Sandpoint, Idaho, and the route from the current terminus to Sandpoint was co-signed U.S. Route 2. This section was replaced fully by US 2 in 1969.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more
    John Adams (1735–1826)

    A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.
    Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
