The Wawawai area was a community for Chinese laborers working on nearby farms located on the Snake River, founded  in 1875. The community was serviced by the Snake River Valley Railroad that connected Lewiston, Idaho to Washington state. The Wawawai Road was an unpaved dirt road by the 1960s, before the Port of Wilma was established and built. The highway from (US 410) in Clarkston through Wawawai and to west of Colton was signed as Secondary State Highway 3G (SSH 3G) in 1969. SSH 3G became SR 193 during a highway renumbering and was signed in 1970. Early plans to extend the highway to US 195 near Pullman in the 1970s were never acted on due  to a lack of funds. The Red Wolf Crossing opened on October 19, 1979, providing a high-level crossing of the Snake River for SR 193 after the construction of the Lower Granite Dam.
