History

Nebraska Highway 19 was a highway which spanned the width of the Nebraska Panhandle. It followed the original route of U.S. Highway 385, going north to the South Dakota border. In 1958, US 385 was designated over the former route of Nebraska Highway 19 north of Sidney. Today, the former route follows US 385 except for the section north of Alliance, which follows Nebraska Highway 2 in Alliance, Nebraska Highway 87 north out of Alliance, and Nebraska Link 7E west from N-87 to the current US 385.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Cheyenne County.
