History

The designation of SR 906 was established in 1945 and lasted until the mid-1980s, when the westernmost two blocks of SR 906 were merged with the east–west segment of the former SR 27 to form SR 9336, which was in turn shortened to its current configuration a decade later. The road still exists under local maintenance.
