History
Initially, in 1923, WIS 160 was established to bypass WIS 16 from Mill Center to Angelica through downtown Pulaski.[2][3] In 1930, four years after WIS 16 was renumbered WIS 29,[4][5] both WIS 29 and WIS 160 switched places. However, WIS 160 ended up traveling from WIS 29 in Angelica to WIS 32 in Pulaski.[6][7] In 1996, the route was slightly truncated in favor of the WIS 29 expressway.[8][9]
