El programa fue establecido por el Congreso en 1991 para preservar y proteger los lugares escénicos de la nación, aunque también incluye a los lugares menos conocidos para ayudar a incrementar el turismo y desarrollo económico del lugar. El programa es administrado por la administración Federal de Carreteras .
