as part of
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, SR 95 was designated in the 1930s when the
National Park Service ceded control of roads outside of the park. Originally extending from
SR 143 (now
SR 136) to US 27 in Rock Spring, the highway was truncated to
SR 151 when SR 151 was extended south to US 27. Not a major highway, the route has otherwise seen very little change since it was first commissioned and bisects the
Round Pond community, noted on maps as
Catlett (the store there carries the Catlett name). However, guide signs on US 27/SR 1 identify Catlett as a control city.
