History

The route was first designated on the January 1939 state highway map between Highway 84 in Malvern and Lake Catherine State Park at the county line. It was extended east deeper into the park in 1952. The segment between US 270 and the county line was added in June 1973 pursuant to Act 9 of 1973 by the Arkansas General Assembly.[2] The act directed county judges and legislators to designate up to 12 miles (19 km) of county roads as state highways in each county.[3] The final segment was added for industrial access from US 67 to a new Willamette Industries particleboard plant on March 6, 1986.[4]

gollark: Neurons do some weird complex operations which you could *maybe* call comparison, but they just work on input signals, not entire "concepts" individually.
gollark: You are confusing different definitions of comparison.
