History

A portion of SR 1005 was Pennsylvania Route 105. The western terminus was at PA 3 in Havertown. The eastern terminus was at US 30/PA 201 in Ardmore.

In 1987, a Location Referencing System (LRS) was established to define roadways that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation deemed important. The system added the concept of a quadrant route, a road given a uniform four digit number between 1000 and 4000 that was unique per county. Quadrant routes would only be signed in little white markers placed at major intersections.[2] With the creation of the LRS; Drexel Avenue, Eagle Road, and Wynnewood Road were assigned the number of 1005.[3]
