History
Iowa Highway 149 was created October 16, 1926 from a segment of highway which was previously
U.S. Highway 151 was extended along the former Iowa 149 between U.S. 6 and U.S. 30, and the segment between I-80 and U.S. 6 was converted to Iowa County
Road V77.
The southern terminus has been moved twice. On July 16, 1997, Iowa 149 took over an old alignment of U.S. Highway 63 between the current U.S. 63 interchange north of Ottumwa and the current Iowa 23 intersection upon the relocation of U.S. 63 between Ottumwa and Oskaloosa. Later, on November 19, 2007, upon another relocation of U.S. 63 in the Ottumwa area, Iowa 149 was extended south to meet in Ottumwa with U.S. Highway 34.
