History

With the creation of the United States Numbered Highway System in 1926, US 63, as a whole, only served as far north as Des Moines, Iowa.[3] At the same time, a connection between Red Wing, and Ashland comprised a portion of WIS 46 south of Cylon and almost the entire portion of WIS 24 north of Cylon.[4] In 1934, US 63 was extended north from Oskaloosa, Iowa, to Ashland; its direct connection to Des Moines was replaced with the short-lived designation US 163.[5][6] In Wisconsin, the extension replaced WIS 24.[7][8]
