History

Highway 529A was the original route of Highway 529, which was designated in 1956. At that time, the present-day route of Highway 529 was the alignment of Highway 69. When Highway 69 was realigned through the area in 1960, the Highway 529 designation was transferred to the bypassed former alignment of Highway 69, while the former Highway 529 was redesignated as 529A. The route has remained unchanged since then.
