Route 1 is a short highway with its northern terminus at Route 152 north of Gladstone and a southern terminus at Route 210 in North Kansas City.
[edit] History
The highway was one of the original 1922 highways in Missouri and it originally ran from the Iowa state line north of Rock Port to the Arkansas state line south of Noel. In 1926, with the creation of the U.S. Highway System, Route 1 became part of U.S. Route 71 and U.S. Route 59. The original Route 1 is now:
- U.S. Route 275 from Iowa to Rock Port
- U.S. Route 136 from Rock Port to south of Tarkio
- U.S. Route 59 from Tarkio to Savannah
- U.S. Route 71 from Savannah to Carthage
- U.S. Route 71 Business from Carthage to Joplin
- U.S. Route 71 from Joplin to Anderson
- Route 59 (formerly US 71) from Anderson to Arkansas.
