History

The present-day highway first appears on official state maps in 1937. At that time, the road was paved and carried the State Route 56 designation. The routing appears to have remained unchanged since that time. Nevada began renumbering its state highways on July 1, 1976. In that process, SR 56 was re-designated as State Route 756. This change was not made to the official Nevada map right away, as the 1978–1979 edition of the state's tourist map (which detailed many route number conversions) continued to show SR 56 without the new SR 756 designation. By 1982, the road was still shown on state maps, albeit without a route number. SR 756 was finally shown as a numbered highway on the 1991–1992 Nevada map.
