History

File:Nevada 8B.svg
SR 290 was established as State Route 8B by 1932

SR 290 was originally numbered as State Route 8B.[3] SR 8B had been established as a graveled road by 1932, approximately following the alignment of the present-day highway.[4] The route was completely paved by 1940.[5] No major changes were made to State Route 8B during its existence. The route number remained active until the renumbering of Nevada's state highways that began on July 1, 1976.[6] SR 8B became the present-day State Route 290 in that process, a change first seen on the 1978–1979 version of the state's highway map.[7]
