History

The western portion of SR-264, from SR-31 east to the Sanpete-Emery County line, near the north end of Electric Lake, was added to the state highway system in 1915,Utah Department of Transportation, [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/f?p=100:pg:5285268476414239680:::1:T,V:1348, Highway Resolutions] : PDFlink|1= [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=200609131101101 Route 31] |2=2.01 MB, updated October 2007, accessed May 2008] and became part of SR-31 in 1927. [cite UTSR law|year=1927|quote=31. From Fairview southeasterly to Huntington.] Due to the creation of Electric Lake, a new alignment for SR-31 was designated in 1976, and present SR-264 was given back to the county. The Utah Transportation Commission restored that roadway to the state highway system in 1985 when it created SR-264 along its present route.Utah Department of Transportation, [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/f?p=100:pg:5285268476414239680:::1:T,V:1348, Highway Resolutions] : PDFlink|1= [http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=200609201353401 Route 264] |2=1.62 MB, updated December 2007, accessed May 2008]
