Route description

History

Starting in 1919, WIS93 was formed to follow along part of its present-day route from WIS25 (now WIS35/WIS54) in Centerville to WIS53 (now WIS95 and County Trunk Highway A [CTH-A]) west of Arcadia. In 1923, part of WIS53 was moved south and extended northeastward, running from Arcadia to Neville instead of to Whitehall. As a result, WIS93 extended northward to Eau Claire, superseding portions of WIS53 from Arcadia to Independence and WIS88 from Independence to Elk Creek. In 1934, WIS93 extended southward towards Trempealeau and then eastward along superseded WIS167 towards US53/WIS35 near Holmen.

In 1940, WIS93 moved off from what is now McGilvray "Seven Bridges" Road (later signed as CTH-M/CTH-XA). As a result, it has to travel northward roughly along present-day and former CTH-M towards WIS35 (now WIS93)/WIS54 west of Galesville. In 1953, a connection to US53 near Holman was restored.

In the mid-1980s, WIS93 moved eastward to bypass Arcadia, swapping with CTH-A in the process. In 1990, a portion of WIS93 switched places with a portion of WIS35. As a result, WIS93 served Galesville while WIS35 served Trempealeau.
