History
The route was designated by the Arkansas State Highway Commission on July 10, 1957, during a period of expansion in the state highway system.[1] The Arkansas General Assembly passed the Act 148 of 1957, the Milum Road Act, creating 10–12 miles (16–19 km) of new state highways in each county.[4]
The initial designation was from Carthage to US 67, and the route followed the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.[1] Between Leola and Poyen, the designation supplanted Highway 113. It was extended south from Carthage to Hughes Trail in April 1963.[5] The route was extended to the current southern terminus in November 1966.[6] At the request of the Grant and Saline county judges, the former alignment of US 67 was designated as Highway 229 on August 30, 1995. In exchange, Highway 291 between Tull and Traskwood was removed from the state highway system and returned to county maintenance.[7]
