History
State Route 93 was established in 1961 to provide a state-maintained connection from the under-construction I-15 to the town of Woods Cross and southern Bountiful. At that time, 2600 South was named 6500 South. However, in between 1961 and 1965, the road was renamed to its present designation. The route initially went east to SR-106. In 1969, a half-mile portion was transferred from SR-131 to SR-93, extending SR-93 south. In 1977, SR-106 was rerouted and US-89 replaced SR-106. In 1985, the western terminus was moved back to I-15.Major intersections
