History
Ruby Valley Road follows part of what was once known as the Hastings Cutoff, a route which was at the time thought to be a more direct route of the California Trail through the northeastern part of Nevada.
SR 767 was established as a state highway on July 1, 1976.{{cite book |title=Nevada State Maintained Highways: Descriptions, Index and Maps |date=January 2001 |publisher=Nevada Department of Transportation |page=103}} It has remained unchanged since its adoption into the state highway system.
