History
SBI Route 109 originally ran from Grafton to East Newbern (at the corner of modern-day Illinois 3 and Illinois 109) on what is now Illinois 3. In 1947, U.S. 67 was rerouted through New Delhi — the former alignment became
Illinois Route 100 south of East Newbern, and Illinois 109 north. In 1987, Illinois 3 took over the 1924 routing of Illinois 109 when Illinois 100 was moved onto a new highway south of Grafton.Carlson, Rich.
