History

Initially, in 1923, WIS 160 was established to bypass WIS 16 from Mill Center to Angelica through downtown Pulaski. [2] [3] In 1930, four years after WIS 16 was renumbered WIS 29, [4] [5] both WIS 29 and WIS 160 switched places. However, WIS 160 ended up traveling from WIS 29 in Angelica to WIS 32 in Pulaski. [6] [7] In 1996, the route was slightly truncated in favor of the WIS 29 expressway. [8] [9]
