History
The road from Lynndyl south to Oak City was originally designated as State Route 126 in 1931,{{cite UTSR law|year=1931|quote=(126) From Lynndyl southerly to Oak City.}} and renumbered to State Route 125 in 1933.{{cite UTSR law|year=1933|chapter=30|quote=(125) From Lynndyl southerly to Oak City.}} In 1953, the route was extended from its southern terminus in Oak City, taking over the western portion of Utah State Route 135 from Oak City to Delta.{{cite web|url=http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/uconowner.gf?n=200609181640391|title=State Route 135 highway resolutions|publisher=Utah Department of Transportation|format=PDF|access-date=26 April 2011|date=November 2008}}{{cite UTSR law|year=1953|quote=Route 125. From route 26[sic] near Leamington southerly to Oak City thence westerly to route 26 east of Delta.}} In addition, the original portion of the highway from Oak City north to Lynndyl was rerouted instead to run north to Leamington, some {{convert|5.5|mi|km}} to the east, which reflects the current alignment of the route.
