History[]

N-5 was originally designated in 1925 from the Kansas state line south of Falls City to the Iowa state line at South Sioux City, replacing Nebraska Highway 10, Nebraska Highway 11, Nebraska Highway 12 and a portion of Nebraska Highway 13. Around 1933 this highway became part of U.S. Route 73, U.S. Route 75, U.S. Route 77 and N-9, and the N-5 designation was transferred to its current route.
