History

Upon the creation of the State Highway system in 1927, all of K-35 was dirt.1 By 1930, the segment from La Cynge west to the Linn/Miami county line was gravelled.2 By 1932, the segment from La Cynge east to US 73E was hard-surfaced.3

In January 1937, K-35 was realigned to the south, meeting K-7 in Linn County near Parker.4 The segment west of La Cynge did not get hard-surfaced until 1956.5

In anticipation of the new Interstate 35, K-35 was re-designated K-135 on October 31, 1957.6 It was subsequently re-designated K-152, its present designation, in March of 19777
