No current routing.

In 1963, this route was defined as "Route 30 in San Bernardino via Little Mountain to Route 15 near Verdemont."

In 1976, Chapter 1354 reworded the route and changed "Route 15" to "Route 194": "Route 194 to Route 30 in San Bernardino."

In 1982, Chapter 681 changed the order back to 1963, and changed "Route 194" to "Route 215": "Route 30 in San Bernardino via Little Mountain to Route 215 near Verdemont"

This routing was deleted in 1991 per AB 1886, Chapter 928. This was to have been a connector between a freeway portion of Route 30 (now Route 210) and I-15.

The 1964-1991 definition of Route 206 was LRN 191. LRN was defined in 1933 as ""LRN 31 (US 395) near Verdemont to Highland Avenue, San Bernardino via Little Mountain.". It ran along Kendall Drive and E Street.

In November 1955, it was reported that during improvements to Cajon Pass, LRN 191 was signed as US 66 Alternate (in reality US 66 Business).  The US 66 Business Loop followed LRN 191 on Kendall Drive and E Street to Highland Avenue.  From Highland Avenue, the US 66 Business Loop followed Route 18 via E Street and 5^th Street back to mainline US 66 through downtown San Bernardino.  The original US 66 Business Loop in San Bernardino is unique in that it was chosen to follow an alignment that was never part of mainline US 66 (which was along LRN 31 along Cajon and Mt. Vernon from LRN 9).  A 1951 article noted that the I Street Overhead (eventual I-215 and Route 259) was to carry Route 18 and US 66 Business via LRN 9 over what had been previous an at-grade crossing of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) mainline through San Bernardino.  Prior to the opening of the I Street Overhead, both Route 18 and US 66 Alternate were aligned on 3^rd Street. Signage may go back to the 1940s—see the discussion with US 66. [On the Route 18 page, it is noted that Sign Route 18 (aka LRN 43) took a convoluted path through downtown: coming into town multiplexed with US 91 and US 395 on Mt. Vernon St., then turning right on 3^rd Street (at the south end of the old Mt. Vernon bridge over the Santa Fe yards) to E Street, then turning north on E to Highland (LRN 190/Sign Route 30). Sign Route 18/US 395/US 91 likely came up from Riverside along Main, turned on Valley (LRN 26, US 99/US 70), and then on Mt. Vernon (LRN 31)]

The Division of Highways submitted a request on May 13, 1958, to create a new US 66-US 91-US 395 Business Loop in San Bernardino due to the construction of I-15.  The new US 66 Business Loop followed Mount Vernon Avenue and 5^th Street in San Bernardino via the original surface routing of the highway.  The request by the Division of Highways also sought to eliminate the existing US 66 Business Loop on LRN 191, Kendall Drive, E Street and 5^th Street.  The AASHO approved the Division of Highways request on June 26, 1958, which eliminated the US 66 Business Loop on LRN 191.

There was no Sign Route 206 in the 1934 signage of state routes.

In 1935, the route “From [LRN 69] to [LRN 75] via Ashby Avenue” was added to the highway system by Chapter 630, with no number. In 1937, Chapter 841 deleted that definition, and redefined the route as:

"[LRN 69], the East Shore Highway, to [LRN 75] via Ashby Avenue, including that portion of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge approaches (on the Alameda County end) not included in [LRN 5] and [LRN 69]"

In 1959, Chapter 1062 extended the route to [LRN 257], and eliminated the specific language on the Bay Bridge: "[LRN 257] near Emeryville to [LRN 75] near Lake Temescal"

This route ran from proposed Route 61 near Emeryville to Route 24 near Lake Temescal. This is part of present-day Route 13, but the portion between I-80 (former US 40) and Route 24 was originally signed as Route 24.
