I have an old WV map from around 1972 or so that shows the segment of WV 28 running from WV 92 down to WV 39 as a county road. The concurrency with WV 92 came later. At the time of that map, WV 92 was a solo route from US 250 down to White Sulphur Springs (not including the short WV 39 concurrency).

I don't believe WV 92 was ever by itself between US 250 at Bartow and Dunmore. This route was WV 28 before WV 92 got extended and the WVDOH maps I have from 1970-1976 show both routes multiplexed to WV 39 at Minnehaha Springs, where WV 28 then ended.

The 1980 WVDOH map shows WV 28 moved onto what had been CR 11 between Dunmore and WV 39 near Huntersville. WV 92 stayed on WV 28's prior alignment through Minnehaha Springs.

WV 28 was extended south of US 250 in 1935 following today's WV 92 path to WV 39 (plus went west to Marlinton.

Incidentally, WV 92 once went west of US 250 Belington.
