History

The first section of Highway 204 was created between Highway 99 and Highway 59 in Siloam Springs on July 10, 1957.[1] A spur route was created north of Siloam Springs to an industrial facility on April 24, 1974.[5] On March 25, 1975, a second section between US 71 and the Bentonville Airport was added to the state highway system.[6] A third section of Highway 204 was created in Gentry on January 30, 1980.[7] The Gentry route was renumbered Highway 59 Spur on January 26, 1994, due to road user confusion with the Siloam Springs route.[8] The Siloam Springs main section and spur were deleted on July 17, 1996, replaced by Highway 43 and Highway 264, respectively.[9] The remaining highway in Bentonville was decommissioned at the request of the City of Bentonville on April 22, 2015, becoming a city street.[2]
