History

In 1926, WIS 55 moved north along WIS 155 to bypass Menomonee Falls; WIS 155 was subsequently removed and WIS 165 was formed along the northern part of the former alignment of WIS 55, located north of Menomonee Falls. About a year after the realignment, WIS 166 was formed along the southern part of the same former alignment, located south of Menomonee Falls. WIS 166 was removed in 1953 after US 41 moved north along a newly built divided highway, which was situated just north of WIS 166.
