K-26 originally began at U.S. 69 at Crestline and ended at U.S. 66 at Riverton in 1941. By 1954, K-26 was extended east to Galena, then south on it's current alignment. When US 66 was decommissioned, the segment between Crestline and Riverton became U.S 69 Alternate, and the section between Riverton and Gelena was marked solely as K-66.Kennedy, Richie (2002).
