History

The route was created during the 1926 Arkansas state highway numbering as an original state highway.[1] When US 79 was created in 1935, it was designated along the former US 167. US 167 was shifted to State Road 115, replacing the entire route. The 115 designation was given to the former Arkansas Highway 79 in Northeast Arkansas, which was renumbered to 115 to avoid duplication with the newly-created US 79.
