History

Nebraska Highway 1 was originally designated in 1925 between Harrison and South Sioux City, replacing Nebraska Highway 79, Nebraska Highway 78, Nebraska Highway 77, Nebraska Highway 65, and Nebraska Highway 49. In 1926, this highway became U.S. Route 20, and Nebraska Highway 1 was transferred to its current route. This route was originally signed as Nebraska Highway 24 in 1922 and changed to Nebraska Highway 5A in 1925 before becoming Nebraska Highway 1.^[2]
