History

The state legislature added the entire length of SR-121 to the state highway system in 1931 (though it was known as SR-122 until 1933).

Lapoint.[4] A short piece at the east end was redesignated State Route 245, from Vernal west to the bridge over the Highline Canal west of Maeser, but the more rugged section between the bridges was removed from the state highway system.[5] This split was undone in 1969, when SR-121 again became a continuous route from Roosevelt to Vernal.[6]
