K-213 was first designated as a state highway in 1957, from K-13 north to Randolph. Then in 1964, K-213 along with a section of K-13 from Manhattan to K-213, was redesignated as K-177.

Route description

K-213 began at K-13 and began travelling northwest, paralleling the Union Pacific Railroad and Big Blue River. After just over 2 miles (3.2 km), the highway curved to the north. It continued north then entered the city of Randolph, where it intersected US-77 and K-16.

History

On January 14, 1957, K-213 was established from K-13, where it turned east and crossed the Big Blue River, north to Randolph.[1] In an April 8, 1964 resolution, K-13's southern terminus was truncated to Manhattan. At this time the section of K-13 from El Dorado to K-213, along with K-213 was redesignated as K-177.[2]

Major intersections

The entire route was in Riley County.
