The Commission first took their post on January 1, 1910. In 1917 the State Highway Fund was created and the State Highway Department was formed. In 1935, Highway Department employees were joined by 44 new co-workers selected from among 7,500 applicants to become the first members of the Colorado State Highway Courtesy Patrol. The Patrol became a division of the Highway Department. </p><p>In 1947, the first <a href="/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System" title="Interstate Highway System">National System of Interstate and Defense Highways</a> was approved by the federal works administrator. In Colorado, approved routes included all of <a href="/wiki/Interstate_25" title="Interstate 25">I-25</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Wyoming" title="Wyoming">Wyoming</a> border to <a href="/wiki/Raton_Pass" title="Raton Pass">Raton Pass</a>; all of I-80S (now <a href="/wiki/Interstate_76_(Colorado%E2%80%93Nebraska)" title="Interstate 76 (Colorado–Nebraska)">I-76</a>); and <a href="/wiki/Interstate_70" title="Interstate 70">I-70</a> from <a href="/wiki/Denver" title="Denver">Denver</a> to the <a href="/wiki/Kansas" title="Kansas">Kansas</a> border. In 1953 the state legislature passed a new law reorganizing the Highway Department and renaming it the Colorado Department of Highways. In 1956, <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">Congress</a> passed the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Aid_Highway_Act_of_1956" class="mw-redirect" title="Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956">Federal Interstate Highways Act</a>. Among the approvals was the section of I-70 from Denver to the <a href="/wiki/Utah" title="Utah">Utah</a> border. In 1968, legislation reorganized highway matters and created the <b>Colorado Department of Highways</b> (CDOH) with 3 main divisions: Division of Highways, Division of Planning and Research, and Division of Patrol.
