History
K-26 was initially designated to connect US 69/K-96 east of Columbus with Missouri State Highway 16. The number was “backfilled;” the number had been vacated when the original K-26 was re-designated as US 177.
In 1941, Missouri re-designated Highway 16 to Highway 96 for east-west continuity with the Kansas/Colorado route. Kansas responded by changing K-26 to K-96 for tri-state route consistency and rebranded the stretch of K-96 from US 66 west of Galena to the US 69/K-96/K-26 junction as the new K-26.
In 1945, the state highway commission designated a new highway connecting US 166 south of Galena to US 66 in Galena as an extension of K-26.
In 1985, as part of removing the US 66 designation, the segment of K-26 from US 66 north to US 69 was made part of the newly designated US 69A, and K-26 was truncated south to Galena and the re-designated K-66.

History
The road from South Haven south to the Oklahoma state line was numbered K-26 as an extension of the connecting route in Oklahoma. In August 1927, the Oklahoma Highway Commission requested a US highway designation for highway 26, which Kansas joined. AASHO approved the request in October 1927, assigning the route the designation US 177. The new designation would first be shown on the 1930 state map.

East Endpoint: Junction K-99 east of Wabaunsee (1926-1960)
Counties Served: Riley, Wabaunsee (1926-1960)
History
The highway along the south side of the Kansas River southeast of Manhattan was originally numbered K-29 in the final version of the original highway numbering plan as part of a rough clustering pattern for shorter route segments. The Riley county segment of the road was graveled by 1928 and the Wabaunsee County segment was graveled by 1938. Except for a short segment on the west end of the route near Manhattan, the route was not hard-surfaced until 1953. The designation was changed to K-18 around 1960.

South Endpoint: I-70 exit 341
North Endpoint: South city limits of Maple Hill

History
Origionally, K-10 served the town of Maple Hill. In 1941, a new alignment bypassed Maple Hill, leading to the State Highway commission adding a new spur route. The spur was designated in a July 8, 1941 resolution. The number was ‘backfilled,’ the number having previously been withdrawn in 1937. The road consisted of a existing gravel county road. It was paved by 1953.

History
The highway from Rock Creek to Tonganoxie via Oskaloosa an McLouth was originally numbered K-30 in the final version of the original highway numbering plan as part of a rough clustering pattern for shorter route segments. It’s route was divided between two routes – K-92 west of Oskaloosa, K-24 east of McLouth – by 1932.

History
This iteration of K-30 may be related to the Rock Creek-Tonganoxie route; however, at this time, I am listing the two routes seperatly.
This version of K-30 was designated along what is now State Avenue between today’s 126th and 38th Streets. This was likely a temporary designation used during the construction of a four-lane highway along State Avenue. When the State Avenue project was completed in 1937, it was designated US 24–40

Counties Served: Clark, Ford

History
In 1937, the State Highway Commission accepted control of a road in Clark County connecting Oklahoma Highway 34 with US 160 near Sitka and designated it as K-34. In addition, they changed the designation of the road between Protection and Bucklin from K-41 to K-34, while the old K-34 in southeast Kansas was re-designated K-37. By 1940, the road between Sitka and the Oklahoma line was designated as US 183. By 1965, a new alignment for K-34 was built between Bucklin and Sitka, bypassing Protection and Comanche County.
The segment from the Oklahoma state line to US 160 was co-designated as US 183/K-34 until 1994, when the K-34 designation was removed.

It was re-designated as a realignment of K-96 from LaFontaine to Neodesha and the remainder was re-designated K-37 in 1937 as part of a sequence of re-numberings to allow the number 34 to be assigned to a new route in Clark County.

Historic East Endpoint: Junction US 69 east of La Cynge
Historic Counties Served: Miami (1927-1937), Linn (1927-1957)
History
The highway from Beagle to La Cynge was originally numbered K-35 in the final version of the original highway numbering plan as part of a rough clustering pattern for shorter route segments. Upon the creation of the State Highway system in 1927, all of K-35 was dirt. By 1930, the segment from La Cynge west to the Linn/Miami county line was graveled. By 1932, the segment from La Cynge east to US 73E was hard-surfaced.
In January 1937, K-35 was realigned to the south, meeting K-7 in Linn County near Parker. The segment west of La Cynge did not get hard-surfaced until 1956.
In anticipation of the new Interstate 35, K-35 was re-designated K-135 on October 31, 1957. It was subsequently re-designated K-152, its present designation, in March of 1977.

K-37 was established in southeast Kansas as a re-designation of K-34 in 1937 as part of a re-numbering sequence to allow the number 34 to be used for a new highway in Clark County. K-37 was removed from the state highway system and turned back to the counties in 1998 when US 400 was opened on a new alignment nearby.

History
The highway from Kinsley to Seward was originally numbered K-37 in the final version of the original highway numbering plan as part of a rough clustering pattern for shorter route segments. The route between US 50N at Larned, and K-8 at Seward was re-designated as an extension of K-19 by 1932. The segment from Seward to Larned became an K-45 by 1937 as part of a re-numbering sequence to allow the K-34 designation to be used in Clark County.

Originally, K-38 was part of a proposed shortcut from Winfield to Independence which never materialized. The segment that was built was completed by 1945 and paved by 1950. No additional extension of K-38 was completed. Cowley County agreed to take over maintenance of K-38 in the 1990s in consideration for building a US 77 bypass at Arkansas City. K-38 was removed from the state system in November of 1997, when the Arkansas City bypass was completed.
