State Route 2B was one of Nevada’s original state highways, first appearing on official state highway maps around 1929. The western terminus was at its junction with SR 2A (present-day by US 50) about 6 miles east of Dayton. It ran east along present-day Fort Churchill Rd. and then turned south along present-day Alternate US 95 to Yerington.

The section of SR 2B south of Fort Churchill Rd. was replaced by Alternate US 95 in 1941. Fort Churchill Rd. remained as a state highway until 1981 but was never paved during that time.
