Nevada's State Routes were developed beginning in 1917 upon the creation of the Nevada Department of Transportation. Routes were not assigned according to any particular numbering system, and sequential numbers were largely scattered throughout the state. Additionally, several suffixed highways were also designated, branching from the original parent route.
During the statewide route renumbering that began in 1976, the majority of Nevada's two-digit state routes were eliminated. Most of the old two-digit routes were reassigned to one or more of the new three-digit highway numbers (State Routes 28 and 88 were the only routes to permanently keep their pre-1978 numbers). Other routes were immediately eliminated from the state highway system, while a select few retained their pre-1978 numbers on official state maps into the 1980s only to be later reassigned or completely removed from the state highway system.
