==History==<br />
Decatur Boulevard was named after the city of [[Decatur, Illinois|Decatur]], [[Illinois]] in the 1930s by Leonard Frechette, who lived on the junction of the street and Vegas Drive. The city was itself named in honor of [[Stephen Decatur]], a naval officer during the early 19th century.<ref name=Fryman /><br />
<br />
A $46 million Clark County construction project that widened much of Decatur Boulevard and introduced a railroad crossing for both Decatur Blvd and Warm Springs Road under the Union Pacific tracks was completed in summer 2010.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.viewnews.com/2010/VIEW-Sep-21-Tue-2010/SpringValley/38079850.html|title=DECATUR-WARM SPRINGS PROJECT COMPLETED|work=Spring Valley View|date=September 21, 2010|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120430154817/http://www.viewnews.com/2010/VIEW-Sep-21-Tue-2010/SpringValley/38079850.html|archivedate=April 30, 2012}}</ref> Sewerage along parts of the route was renewed in spring 2011.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/apr/17/sewer-project-close-lanes-decatur-boulevard/|last=Hansen|first=Kyle|title=Sewer project to close lanes on Decatur Boulevard near Edna Avenue|work=[[Las Vegas Sun]]|date=April 17, 2011}}</ref><br />
