History

SR 232 was established between July and October 1939 along an alignment from its western terminus to its western intersection with SR 104, however it was designated as part of SR 150. In 1945, this section was redesignated as SR 232. In 1950, the road was paved from its western terminus to approximately farther to the east. In 1953, the entire original section was paved. By 1966, the rest of the road's length was paved, with a proposal to extend it along the current route of I-520, at least as far as US 25/ SR 121.
