context_page_description: K-23 is a 199.117-mile-long south–north state highway in the U.S. State of Kansas. It starts as a continuation of Oklahoma State Highway 23 and it runs northward to U.S. Route 83 and K-383 near Selden. Along the way it intersects several major east–west highways, including US-54 and US-160 in Meade, US-50 and US-400 in Cimarron, US-56 near Montezuma, K-4 near Healy, and Interstate 70 and US-40 south of Grainfield.
  K-23 was first designated in 1927, and at that time it travelled from K-96 in Dighton, north to the Nebraska state line. By 1931, US-36 in Dresden had become US-83, and US-183 was created and overlapped K-23 from US-83 to Nebraska. By 1932, it was extended from Dighton southward to Meade. Between July 1938 and 1940, US-183 was realigned to go east from Oberlin, at this time K-23 was realigned to follow K-9 west to US-83, then north to Oberlin. This lasted until 1945, when K-23 was truncated to US-83, and US-83 replaced K-23 from here north to Oberlin.

In a December 9, 1959 resolution, the future I-70 was to be built along with US-40 being realigned onto it, at this time K-23 Spur was designated from I-70 and US-40 north to K-23.
