State Highway 10 (abbreviated SH-10) is a
SH-10 first appeared as part of the original highway system designated in 1924. The route originally served eastern Oklahoma as a border-to-border route, connecting the Red River near Hugo to the Missouri state line near Joplin, Missouri. Much of the southern half of the route was dropped in 1941, while western extensions throughout the 1940s brought the highway to its current routing.

History
SH-10 was first added to the state highway system on August 24, 1924.
The Miami terminus lasted until January 30, 1930, when the highway was truncated to the US-60 junction near Wyandotte.[2] However, this change would be reversed seven years later; SH-10 once again ended in Miami beginning February 3, 1937.[2] SH-10 was extended to the west for the first time in 1941. The route's western terminus was moved to SH-2[6] at Welch on April 14, 1941.[2] However, the other terminus was moved north at the end of that year, resulting in SH-10 being truncated to Gore after November 12, 1941.[2] SH-10 was then extended farther west, to US-169 at Lenapah, on April 3, 1944.[2]
A new section of highway, running from SH-99 to Copan, was added to the state highway system on August 21, 1954.[2] This road was also assigned the SH-10 designation, creating a gap in the highway between Copan and Lenapah.[7] This gap would persist until August 3, 1981, when SH-10 was extended east from Copan to US-169, filling the gap.[2] This road is shown as SH-7 on the 1936 and 1937 Oklahoma official highway maps.
Interstate 40 was built through Sequoyah County in the late 1960s. SH-10 was extended from Gore along US-64 to Exit 291 on June 1, 1970.[2] This brought SH-10 to its present-day southern terminus.[8]
The section of SH-10 east of Gore was pressed into service as a detour for I-40 traffic after the
Spurs
- SH-10A (6.3 mi) runs from SH-10 north of Gore to Lake Tenkiller.
- SH-10C (4.4 mi) is a short branch of SH-10 in Missouri Supplemental Route U which runs less than a mile before it ends at Route 43 north of Seneca, Missouri. The highway is relatively straight, though hilly, and no communities are located on the highway.
