History

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