History
In 1934, a coalition of government officials from Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota agreed to sign the current US 59 as Highway 73 in an attempt to extend
US 73 north from
Atchison, Kansas
Atchison is a city and county seat of Atchison County, Kansas, United States, along the Missouri River. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 10,885. The city is named in honor of US Senator David Rice Atchison from Missouri ...
. However,
AASHO approved the route as US 59, instead.
The part in Missouri was defined in 1922 as Route 52 from Kansas to St. Joseph,
Route 1 from St. Joseph to Tarkio, and Route 61 from Tarkio to Iowa. Route 61 became Route 9 in 1926, and Route 52 became part of
Route 4 in 1927, and this portion became Route 18 in 1932, before being removed in favor of US 59 in the 1930s.
