History
Highway 251 was authorized on July 1, 1949.[1]
The route was paved between Clarks Grove and Maple Island and between Corning and U.S. 218 at the time it was marked.[2] Originally, the highway turned south at the county line and followed present-day County Road 2 east to U.S. 218. The highway was moved to its current alignment in 1952.[3][4] This new routing, as well as the remaining gravel portion of the roadway, was paved in 1954 or 1955.[5][6]
Highway 251 originally extended into Clarks Grove proper to intersect U.S. 65 (present-day County Road 45) until Interstate 35 was built.
