Iowa 100 (I)
Designated: July 1, 1920
Decommissioned: June 23, 1958
Original western terminus: Griswold; it was extended to US 275 in Council Bluffs on December 22, 1936.
Original eastern terminus: US 71 at Lyman
Counties: Pottawattamie, Cass
Paving history: There were no paved segments at designation.
  • 1952: Paved from Griswold to US 71
  • 1956: Paved from Council Bluffs to US 59 (on a new alignment between Council Bluffs and Treynor; the previous route followed Concord Loop, State Orchard Road, and Greenview Road)
  • 1957: Last segment, from US 59 to Griswold, paved
  • Major alignment changes: IA 100 was originally a north-south spur between IA 2/24 (now US 6) southward into Griswold; it became an east-west road in 1921 at the same time the segment of IA 24 (I) through Lewis was removed from the primary road system.
    Replaced by: County road, which later became part of IA 48 (north-south alignment in 1923); a relocated IA 92 (at decommissioning)
    For street alignments in Council Bluffs, see Jeff Morrison's Council Bluffs/Omaha Highway Chronology page.
    Iowa 100 (II)
    Designated: June 23, 1958
    Decommissioned: July 1958
    Original western terminus: US 6 north of Lewis
    Original eastern terminus: US 71 south of Atlantic
    Counties: Cass
    Paving history: The entire road was paved at the time of designation.
    Replaced by: IA 414.
    Jeff Morrison discovered what may be the shortest-lived state highway in Iowa history through newspaper research, as it does not appear on any state highway map. When IA 92 replaced the original IA 100 on June 23, 1958, the five-mile segment of old IA 92 that was not co-signed with US 6 became IA 100. However, motorists were confused that the new IA 100 was so close to the old road, so in late July, the Highway Commission renumbered the road as IA 414.

    Iowa 101
    Designated: July 1, 1920
    Decommissioned: August 14, 1984
    Original northern terminus: IA 5 at Independence; the overlapping segment with IA 11, later IA 150, was deleted on November 3, 1924.
    Original southern terminus: IA 40 (later US 218) at Vinton
    Counties: Benton
    Paving history: At the time of designation, the only paved segment was from Vinton to the Cedar River crossing, dating back to 1912 (the Vinton Eagle on August 20 heralded it as "The First Concrete Roadway in the State of Iowa"). By the end of 1921, it was paved from the south end at IA 40 to the northward turn onto present-day 25th Avenue Drive. (Part of that pavement still exists today along what is now 58th Street Lane.) The rest of IA 101 was upgraded from bituminous to paved in 1955.
    Major alignment changes: The north-south segment north of the river was moved onto its present alignment on April 2, 1941; it previously followed what is now 58th Street, 25th Avenue Drive, 55th Street Drive, and 25th Avenue in Benton County.
    Replaced by: IA 150.
    Former terminus photos
    IA 101 was the highest number in the original 1920 numbering system, but IA 102 through 107 were designated by the end of the year, as all of those highways appeared on the 1921 map.

    Decommissioned: July 1, 1980
    Original northern terminus: IA 19 (later US 18)

    Terminus photos

    Counties: Mahaska
    History
    Designated: July 22, 1980, originally running between IA 163 in Pella to the west city limits of New Sharon
    Paving history: The entire road was paved at the time of designation.
    Major alignment changes:
  • July 22, 1986: Extended from the west city limits of New Sharon to the junction with US 63 and IA 146
  • April 5, 1996: West end moved to the easternmost interchange (exit #44) of the IA 163 freeway bypass of Pella to a new road straddling the Marion/Mahaska county line.
  • May 1, 2003: Segment between the west end in Pella and the western terminus decommissioned; it is now signed as County Road G5T, its pre-1980 designation. All IA 102 signs, including those in New Sharon, were taken down by May 9 but the road remains under state control within the city limits of New Sharon.
  • Iowa 103
    Designated: 1920 (the Highway Commission added it to the primary road system in April, but the date of numbering is unknown)
    Decommissioned: September 19, 2003
    Original western terminus: IA 40 (I), later US 161 and most recently US 218
    Original eastern terminus: US 61 in Fort Madison
    Counties: Lee
    Paving history: Unpaved at designation, the segment from West Point to Fort Madison was paved in 1938. The segment west of West Point was gravel until 1949, and had a bituminous surface until it was paved in 1988.
    Replaced by: County Road J40. The DOT had originally planned to take IA 16 east of US 218 instead of IA 103 as part of the legislation passed in 2003, but after reviewing the poor condition of the road, they decided to keep IA 16 in order to resurface it later and give Lee County IA 103 instead.

    Designated: November 20, 1920

    Decommissioned: October 27, 1980
    Original northern terminus: US 34
    Original southern terminus: Woodburn
    Counties: Clarke
    Paving history: There were no paved segments at designation, and the road was bituminous at decommissioning but has since been paved.

    Iowa 105
    Designated: November 20, 1920
    Decommissioned: December 12, 1992 (see note below)
    Original western terminus: IA 15, later US 69, in Lake Mills

    Counties: Winnebago, Worth, Mitchell
    Paving history: There were no paved segments at designation.
  • 1952: Paved from Lake Mills to Northwood
  • 1960: Last segment, from Northwood to St. Ansgar, paved
    Replaced by: County Road 105 (thanks to Steve Riner for pointing this out in 1998), which is the first county road in Iowa that does not follow the traditional alphanumeric numbering system. It is signed just like any other county road.
    Note: The date of decommissioning listed was when Mitchell County and the city of Carpenter assumed jurisdiction. Worth County took over its pieces of the road on December 31, 1992. The segment in Winnebago County remained under state control as unsigned IA 971 until the county assumed control of its piece on October 15, 2001; the city of Lake Mills was given its share of the road on July 1, 2003. The segment through Northwood was designated as unsigned IA 972 until July 1, 2003, and the segment through St. Ansgar was designated as unsigned IA 973 until November 5, 2001.
    Incidentally, IA 105 never did connect with MN 105, which runs from Austin to the state line and continues as County Road S70 in Iowa southward through Otranto to County Road 105 east of Carpenter.

    Decommissioned: June 30, 2011 (signs were removed by July 1, 2003)

The Iowa Transportation Commission approved the transfer of jurisdiction of the piece through Meservey at its meeting on July 13, 2010, and of the piece through Thornton on September 14, 2010. The city of Thornton was scheduled to take over its piece of IA 107 on June 30, 2011, according to the Cerro Gordo County Board of Supervisors' meeting notes from July 12, 2010.
