History
Highway 86 was created between Holly Grove and the current eastern terminus at Highway 20 on April 12, 1940. A second segment was created in 1953 between Slovak and Highway 11 in Prairie County. The route was extended over Highway 11 through Tollville on July 10, 1957 and east to Highway 33 on June 29, 1960. On April 24, 1963, both segments were extended westward, with the Prairie County section adding west of Slovak, and the Monroe County section extended northwest from Holly Grove to Highway 241 north of Clarendon. On June 23, 1965, the Prairie County section was extended north to the current western terminus at Screeton, and the third section of Highway 86 was designated between Hayley and a county road near Wattensaw Bayou. The northern of the Monroe County route was deleted in a swap to add length to Highway 146 on April 27, 1971, leaving the route to terminate at the current county road intersection.
