History
US 830 was created in 1926 as part of the initial set of United States Numbered Highways, running from US 101 at
Megler to US 97 near
Maryhill
Maryhill () is an area in the north-west of Glasgow in Scotland. A former independent burgh and the heart of an eponymous local authority ward, its territory is bisected by Maryhill Road, part of the A81 road which runs for a distance of ro ...

It was in 1932. When it existed, US 830 was the highest-numbered route in the U.S. Highway System (and remains the highest U.S. route number ever used). The highest numbered route still in existence is
US 730.
The stretch of (former) US 830 which is now I-5
ran concurrently with
US 99 at one point. The stretch of US 830 between Maryhill and
Dalleport was formerly concurrent with
US 197 from 1952 onward; now Dallesport is the northern terminus of US 197.
US 830 was decommissioned in 1968 and was replaced by SR 4, I‑5, and SR 14.
