History
SR 140 was previously created on a route from
US 82/
SR 6 east of
Gordo to US 82/SR 6 in
Coker. This route was decommissioned by 1979 and is now County Road 140. The current SR 140 was created between 1983 and 1985.
It is routed along the former route of SR 14. When a new
bypass route heading from the northeastern side of Selma towards
Prattville was completed, SR 14 was aligned along the new route, and SR 140 was assigned to the former route of SR 14.
