History
Arkansas Highway 113 was designated as part of the original 1926 state highways a route from Leola to Poyen. By 1928, a second segment was created from AR 10 to Bigelow and this segment was labeled 'impassable'. Between 1943 and 1945, the highway was extended to Morrilton. In 1957, the segment from Leola to Poyen was renumbered to AR 229. The segment along US 64 was added in 1963.
