History

Initially, in 1923, WIS 128 was established roughly along part of its present-day route and present-day CTH-B from WIS 51 (now WIS 72) in Elmwood to WIS 116 (now WIS 29) in Spring Valley. Then, in 1934, WIS 128 extended northward to WIS 79 in Glenwood, superseding CTH-A in the process. In 1947, WIS 79 moved off from Glenwood and instead served Connorsville. As a result, WIS 170 extended westward towards Glenwood while WIS 128 extended northward towards WIS 64. By 1994, WIS 128 moved eastward onto the existing bypass of Spring Valley, superseding CTH-T. As a result, CTH-B was established to follow along part of the former alignment.
