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:
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“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)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
