History
The route was established in 1949, where it began at SH 257 in Windsor and continued east to
Barnesville. The road was then paved entirely by 1958, then extended to today's I‑25/US 85 in 1960. The route was then extended east to
Cornish; this section was paved by 1977. The route was then extended to its current eastern terminus at Briggsdale at SH 14 the next year. In 1994, the section east of the former SH 37 was deleted.
In 2007, the section between US 287 and I‑25/US 87 was added to SH 392 and the formerly deleted section eastern was re-added.
