History
State Highway 199 was formed from a portion of SH-32 between Marietta and Madill. This stretch of the highway was split off from SH-32 on October 13, 1938.
The portion of SH-199 between Madill and the current southern terminus of SH-99C was returned to SH-32 on September 16, 1946.
SH-199's route from Interstate 35 on the west side of Ardmore to Madill was the former route of US-70 until 1984, when US-70 was relocated between the two cities over its present route.
