The A920 first appears in Banffshire on the 1946 edition of the OS Ten Mile Map. It was a straightforward renumbering of the northern end of the B9009 between Dufftown and Keith. Starting on the A941 at Dufftown, the road headed northeastwards following the railway line (still in existence now as a preserved railway), meeting the B9115 en-route. The route ended as Fife Street, to the west of Keith town centre on the main A95 / A96 multiplex (originally the former number was dominant but now the latter is).
More recently, it was decided that the Dufftown to Huntly route was a more important or busier road, and so the A920 number was swapped with the B9014. This also enabled the extension of the A920 eastwards to the A90 at Ellon.
