History
SR-102 was originally designated in 1931 as the road from
Deweyville to
Haws Corner. In 1969, the route was extended westward through
Tremonton to
SR-83 east of
Lampo Junction (this stretch of road was formerly part of
SR-3).
In 1966, the counties in northern Utah requested that the
State Road Commission designate a single route number to run east–west across that part of the state. This route overlapped SR-102 between Deweyville and
I-84

. For this new route, the number
SR-30 was selected, but there were no legislative description changes of the highways. Instead, the old route numbers were kept and marked on small, rectangular signs below the SR-30 shields.
In the
1977 renumbering, the legislative description of this new route was changed to SR-30, resulting in SR-102's eastern terminus being moved to I-84. In 1989, the commission resolved that, once
I-15 was completed north of Tremonton, SR-30 would be rerouted to replace
SR-129, with SR-102 being extended back to Deweyville.
