Arkansas Highway 97
The original Highway 97 was created in the 1926 renumbering from Highway 91 in Walnut Ridge to US 63. In 1929, Highway 91 was realigned, replacing Highway 97. The current Highway 97 was added to the state highway system by the Arkansas State Highway Commission between 1939 and 1940 following the completion of a new terrain Highway 8 between New Edinburg and Fordyce. Following completion, the old Highway 8 routing to Kingston was redesignated as Highway 97.
