Termini

Historic termini

In the original 1926 plan, US 266 extended to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to meet its parent route, U.S. Highway 66. But by 1931, along with changes to several other branches of US 66 [1], the route was truncated at Henryetta. The segment from Oklahoma City to Henryetta became part of U.S. Highway 62, which was commissioned in 1930.
