History
State Highway 156 was marked in 1994. It was originally part of State Highway 56 from 1934 to 1994.
The route was renumbered 156 in 1994 when State Highway 56 was shortened to end at Hampton in southern Dakota County. Nearby Concord Boulevard in Inver Grove Heights (previously State Highway 56 as well) was designated Dakota County Road 56 in 1994.
The route has been paved since the 1920s before it was a numbered highway.
