History notes
By no means complete, but it's a start:
 * 1938 ALA Green Book and 1939 state map has west end of KY 80 at US 31W east of Bowling Green - alignment east of that point is more or less the same as today, save for local realignments
 * what later became KY 80 was KY 98 west of Aurora and US 68 between Aurora and Bowling Green
 * KY 80 extended west to Columbus between 1949 (RMcN map of KY and TN) and 1957, replacing KY 98 and overlapping US 68 between Aurora and Bowling Green
 * 2000s Mayfield-Murray-Aurora realignment, based on the change logs of the Marshall, Graves, and Calloway County SPRS listings:
 * July 18, 2002: KY 80 renumbered to KY 402 from KY 58 in Brewers (former ET of overlap) to US 68 in Aurora, splitting KY 80 in two
 * February 28, 2005: new KY 80 in Marshall County and part of new KY 80 in Calloway County (US 641 to county line) accepted into system, replacing a short section of KY 94 near Aurora between the east end of the new road and US 68
 * June 4, 2008: new KY 80 in Graves County and part of new KY 80 in Calloway County (county line to KY 1836) accepted into system
 * February 18, 2010: part of new KY 80 in Calloway County (KY 1836 to US 641) accepted into system
