Oregon Route 201
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oregon Route 201 is a north-south state highway in eastern Oregon. It runs from the Idaho state line just south of Adrian to Interstate 84 south of Huntington. Between the state line and Nyssa, it is known as the Succor Creek Highway (or one of its spurs). Between Nyssa and Cairo Junction, it is part of the Central Oregon Highway, and north of Cairo Junction, it is the Ontario-Olds Ferry Highway. At the Idaho state line, Oregon Route 201 becomes Idaho State Highway 19.

[edit] History
Oregon Route 201 originally existed only as the Succor Creek Highway. It continued south of Adrian to Jordan Valley. The route was completely decommissioned in 1940 with the extension of U.S. Route 95 into Oregon. It would not see new life until U.S. Route 30 was rerouted around Washington on roughly its current route.
Nearly all of the route north of Nyssa was once part of the historical route of U.S. Route 30 or one of its split routes. In fact, until 1980, Oregon Route 201's north terminus was at its current junction with U.S. Route 95 Spur, which was at the time U.S. Route 30N.
A bypass was recently built around Ontario.
