=The Original Wyoming State Highway System (1922)= In 1922, the state of Wyoming commissioned, for the first time, a numbered route system. This did not entirely replace the named highways, but the numbered routes made directions much easier to follow. The numbering system did not follow any kind of pattern, except that most routes had numbers that ended in "0," "1," or "5."

When the U.S. route numbering system was implemented in 1926, most of the original Wyoming state routes gave way to the new system. A few routes, such as Wyo. 65 and Wyo. 70, remained in service for several years after 1926, but all of the original state highways were renumbered by the 1950s.

In fact, only a few years passed before the United State highway system was commissioned. Many of Wyoming's state highways were renumbered in 1926 to correspond to the national system. The original Wyoming highway designations were cosigned with the new U.S. routes until the 1930s.
