History

Highway 114 was authorized on April 22, 1933.[2]

The highway originally served the city of Garfield, per its legal definition. When U.S. 52 was replaced by I-94, Highway 114 was truncated to end at the interstate.

By 1960, Highway 114 was paved between Highways 28 / 29 at Starbuck and State Highway 27 at La Grand Township. The route is completely paved today.[4]
