      History

      The SR 602 designation was created in 1937. Originally, the highway ran from its present southern terminus at SR 19 to its intersection with Old Lincoln Highway north of North Robinson. Old Lincoln Highway was designated as U.S. Route 30N (US 30N) at the time, and later became US 30 prior to that route being moved to its present freeway routing.[1][2]

      SR 602 would remain as such until 1969, when the highway was extended north along a previously un-numbered roadway to its present northern endpoint at SR 103 in New Washington.[5][6]
