The route was originally defined in 1963. In 2014, control of the highway was transferred from the state to the city of Santa Barbara. , however, the California State Legislature has neither deleted nor even amended the legal definition of SR 225 in the California Streets and Highways Code since 2011 when they authorized Caltrans to transfer control of the highway to the city.
