This route is unchanged from 1963.

This was LRN 85, defined in 1933. It appears to have not been signed before 1969.

North Bank Road along the Mad River existed before it was added to the State Highway System.  North Bank Road can be seen as a connecting road in the vicinity of Arcata between LRN 1 (future US 101) east to LRN 20 (future US 299/Route 299) on the 1917 California State Automobile Association Map of California. It was added to the State Highway System during 1933 as LRN 85, and can be seen aligned between US 101/LRN 1 and US 299/LRN 20 on the 1935 California Division of Highways Map of Humboldt County.

It is a short connector between Route 299 and US 101. It is identified as Route 200 on the Calnexus site.

The interchange between US 101 and Route 200 in the County of Humboldt is officially named the "CHP Officer Kenneth E. Marshall Memorial Interchange." It was named on 9/27/13 by ACR 70,Res. Chapter 144, Statutes of 2013. It was named in memory of California Highway Patrol Officer Kenneth Edmund Marshall, who was born in December 1936, in Vernonia, Oregon. Officer Marshall graduated from Napa High School, and attended California State University, Sacramento, shortly thereafter. Officer Marshall was employed in a lumber mill near Burney, California, prior to becoming a California Highway Patrol Officer. Officer Marshall married in September 1956, and had two children. Officer Marshall graduated from the California Highway Patrol Academy in 1963 and, upon graduation, was assigned to the Los Angeles Area and later transferred to the San Leandro Area and finally to the Humboldt Area, where he spent the remainder of his career. Officer Marshall, badge number 3285, was killed in the line of duty on January 9, 1968, while pursuing a speeding motorist on US 101 in the County of Humboldt. As Officer Marshall was attempting to overtake the violator, he lost control of his patrol car on the wet roadway as he was traversing through a sweeping left curve and his vehicle slid off the roadway and struck a pole adjacent to the highway.

In 1933, Chapter 767 defined the route from "[LRN 2] near San Diego to [LRN 12] W of Jacumba via Campo" as part of the highway system. In 1935, this was added to the highway code with the same routing. This routing remained the same until the 1963 renumbering.

This route ran from US 101 (present-day I-5) near San Diego to US 80 (present-day I-8) W of Jacumba via Campo. This is Route 94.

This route was part of the "Old Spanish Trail". You can see it on an early 1923 map at the OST100 web site. Campo on the map is now on Route 94. The 1924 and 1925 maps no longer show Campo, and by 1926 when the federal highways came into existence, Campo is replaced by Alpine (the US 80 alignment).
