Wellington Road was established as an unimproved roadway as early as 1917 and, by 1929, had been made part of State Route 22, a longer route through the Smith Valley connecting Wellington to Bridgeport, California.{{cite map |publisher=Nevada Department of Highways |title=Road Map of the State of Nevada |url=http://contentdm.library.unr.edu/u?/hmaps,565 |date=1917 |access-date=2010-01-13 }}{{cite map |publisher=Nevada Department of Highways |title=Highway Map State of Nevada |url=http://contentdm.library.unr.edu/u?/hmaps,457 |date=1929 |access-date=2010-01-13 }} The Wellington Road portion of SR 22 was reassigned to State Route 829 in Nevada's state highway renumbering in the late 1970s, with the remainder of the old route becoming State Route 338.{{cite book |title=Nevada State Maintained Highways: Descriptions, Index and Maps |date=January 2001 |publisher=Nevada Department of Transportation |pages=109–110 }}{{cite map |publisher=Nevada State Highway Department |title=Official Highway Map of Nevada |url=http://contentdm.library.unr.edu/u?/hmaps,535 |edition=1978-79 |date=1978 |section=D1 |access-date=2010-01-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150122214240/http://contentdm.library.unr.edu/u?%2Fhmaps%2C535 |archive-date=2015-01-22 |url-status=dead }}
