History

SBI Route 119 originally ran from Heyworth (at the present-day intersection of U.S. Route 51 and U.S. 136] ) to the Indiana line using U.S. 136 and Illinois 119. In 1937, it replaced "Illinois Route 119A" and Illinois Route 122 west to Havana at the Illinois River. In 1951, however, U.S. 136 was established across the state of Illinois. U.S. 136 took over all of Illinois 119 west of Illinois 1, leaving the short route to Indiana.
