History

Holden's Main Street became a state highway in 1910 as part of the main road south-southwesterly from Salt Lake City. It was numbered as part of SR-1 and US-91 in the 1920s. In 1969, with the construction of I-15 imminent, State Route 26 (now US-50), which had ended at SR-1 just north of Holden, was extended both north and south from its eastern end to meet I-15 on both sides of the bypass. The state legislature redesignated the southern half as SR-64 in 1975, about a year before I-15 was completed in the area.
