History
The road from SR-24 at Plateau Junction east to Fish Lake was added to the state highway system in 1918,[2] and numbered SR-25 by the state legislature in 1927.[3] The west end was moved south to Fish Lake Junction in 1935 as a federal aid project,[2] but the legislative description was not changed until 1953.[4]
