History
The short section in Gassville was created to serve an industrial area on May 28, 1969, initially only running due north as Lakeview Drive.[1] The route was extended east from the Mar-Bax shirt factory along Vine Street to Highway 126 on July 28, 1977.[3] The second segment was created on May 23, 1973 pursuant to Act 9 of 1973 by the Arkansas General Assembly.[4] The act directed county judges and legislators to designate up to 12 miles (19 km) of county roads as state highways in each county.[5]
