History

Present-day Highway 392 was created as a state highway on April 24, 1963, as Highway 206 between US 62 and Capps as part of a large addition mileage to the state highway system. The designation was extended along a county road to Highway 7 in Harrison two years later. Following construction in Harrison, Highway 206 was extended one block along Pine Street to a relocated Highway 7 (Central Avenue) in 1967. With three Highway 206 designations in Boone County, local leaders asked the

to renumber one segment to reduce confusion. The Highway Commission renumbered the segment from Little Arkansaw and Harrison to Highway 392 on June 27, 1990.
