History
In 1923, WIS 149 ran from WIS 57 in Kiel to WIS 17 in St. Wendel. In 1938, part of the route near Kiel was straightened to follow today's County Trunk Highway XX. In 1947, WIS 149 was extended westward to US 151/WIS 55 in Peebles, superseding CTH-U, CTH-I, and a part of CTH-HH. Also, WIS 149 was extended eastward via Westvie Street and Washington Street to present-day CTH-LS just west of the shore of Lake Michigan. In 1979, WIS 149 was removed east of the newly built I-43. As a result, the former connection to Cleveland was downgraded to CTH-XX. By 1987, WIS 149 was shortened even further to end at WIS 32/WIS 57 in Kiel. As a result, CTH-XX extended west to WIS 67 near Kiel.The road was turned back to local control in 2006. The highway, since then, was designated as multiple county routes. County HH was extended from Marytown to Kiel, Fond du Lac County G took over primary signage on the portion concurrent with the highway, and Fond du Lac County created County WH for the remainder.
