History
State Highway 102 was first commissioned on May 2,
1955, as a spur route connecting Wanette to SH-39.[1][4]
A second segment of SH-102, extending from SH-9 west
of Tecumseh to US-270 (present-day SH-270) between
McLoud and Dale, was added on October 6, 1958.[1][5] This
situation—one short SH-102 spur to Wanette and a longer
SH-102 from SH-9 to Dale—would persist for the next
thirteen years.
The two sections of SH-102 were finally united during
the 1970s. On May 10, 1971, the highway was extended
south from SH-9 to SH-39 and joined to the Wanette spur

the highway occurred during 1977. The highway was ex-
