History

The SR 135 designation made its debut in 1923. It has maintained the same short alignment in western Highland County throughout its history. The only change of any significance is that the route intersecting SR 135 at its southern terminus prior to the coming of US 50 was originally designated as SR 26. At its northern terminus, SR 135 has always intersected SR 134.
