History

SD 28 was established between 1932 and 1935. At that time, it replaced SD 26 and extended from SD 25 west of Bryant to US 77 east of Estelline. In the mid-1950s, it was extended westward. An extension further to the west, to SD 45 north of Miller, may have been signed briefly, but was not indicated as such by 1970. Between 1948 and 1953, it was extended eastward to the Minnesota state line.
