SBI Route 91 was the current U.S. Route 150 from Knoxville to Peoria. Prior to 1936, Illinois Route 30 mostly followed present-day IL 91 and a part of IL 17 east of Galva.[4] Later, IL 30 was rerouted north of Toulon which entirely followed current IL 91.[5] In March 1941, the state announced that IL 91 was replacing the designation of IL 30 from Kewanee to US 150,[1] and has remained so to this day.[3][6]
