History
State Route 21 follows the historic Marble Mountain Road, a wagon road opened in 1899 between the Columbia River and Republic. In 1905 this was renumbered as State Route 4. Around 1915 the road opened from Republic to the border with Canada. When the primary and secondary state highways were introduced in 1937, the route was numbered State Route 4 between Wilbur and the border with Canada at Danville. With the renumbering of 1964, today’s State Route 21 was created.
The Keller Ferry has been used to cross the Columbia River since the late 1800s. Between 1933 and 1942, the Grand Coulee Dam was constructed, one of the largest dams in North America and the largest hydroelectric power station in the United States. This created the Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake. No bridge was built, the Keller Ferry survived after the creation of the reservoir.
