History

The route was originally designated State Road 82 by the State Road Department, the forerunner of Florida Department of Transportation. In the 1980s, FDOT extended the State Road designation westward from US 441 along Peters Road and renumbered the route to SR 736. In the 2000s, the road was truncated back to the original US 441/SR 7 terminus.
Until the extension and redesignation in Broward County, SR 82 was an "interrupted" state road, for there was - and still is - a SR 82 in southwestern Florida.
The SR 736 designation had previously extended west to University Drive / SR 817 in Plantation.
