History

Wyoming Highway 77 was formerly numbered as WYO 487 while present day Highway 487 was designated as WYO 75. WYO 75 was created during the early 1970s with the creation of the Wyoming secondary state route system. When Wyoming Highway 487 was rerouted over Highway 75 in the mid-1970s, old WYO 487 was redesignated as WYO 77.[1]
