History

The alignment of present-day SR 726 can be seen on maps dating as early as 1937. At that time, the Old River Road portion of the highway was a minimally-improved part of State Route 1A, a highway that connected Fallon to US 40 southwest of Lovelock.[1][3] However, SR 1A was rerouted to a newer alignment by 1957, thus removing the designation from Old River Road.[4] SR 1A would later become US 95.

SR 726 was established as a state highway on January 1, 1978.[5]
