The roadway of about {{convert|0.75|mi|km}} is a 1930 construction and was the main travel route in the county upon construction until US 71 bypassed this alignment in 1980. HistoryLittle River County began to grow with the coming of the railroad in the late nineteenth century. The St. Louis–San Francisco Railway (Frisco) came through the area in the 1870s and communities began forming quickly in the newly accessible area. Influential Fayetteville businessmen persuaded the railroad to come through the city rather than a western alignment through Prairie Grove.[2] Rugby was founded in 1882, renamed Staunton, and would become Greenland by 1909. Improvements came when the wagon road through the area was redesignated as part of the Jefferson Highway. Convict labor combined with a compulsory five days of labor required by law at the time to improve the gravel roadway. Now a route of national importance, the Jefferson Highway was eligible for inclusion in a federal paving program, and bridges were contracted through the state highway commission.[3] The federal designation of US 71 came when Arkansas designated a state highway system in 1926. After constructionThe route served as the main route between Fort Smith and Fayetteville. The high volume of traffic has caused the entire US 71 routing between Fort Smith and Fayetteville to be bypassed by Interstate 540 (I-540). This segment remains today as a drivable county road, Washington County Route 1194.[4] See also{{Portal|Arkansas|NRHP|U.S. Roads}}
