Route description
Iowa Highway 110 begins at U.S. Route 20 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Schaller. It heads north through Schaller and through northwest Sac County, crossing into Buena Vista County near mile marker 6.[1] Three miles into Buena Vista County, Iowa 110 turns to the east at Buena Vista County Road C65 (CR C65). For 2 1⁄2 miles (4.0 km), the route heads east, turning to the north again near the southwestern shore of Storm Lake. It continues north past the western shore for 2 miles (3.2 km) and negotiates an S-curve around the northwestern shore and into the city of Storm Lake. The highway ends at Iowa Highway 7 on the extreme western side of the city.[3]
History
Iowa Highway 110 was designated November 7, 1934 on an old segment of Primary Road No. 4.[2] Through the city of Storm Lake, the route followed the northern shore of Storm Lake; it ended at U.S. Route 71 in the downtown area. By 1952, only the segment from U.S. Route 20 to Schaller was paved.[4] By 1956, the entire route was paved.[5] By 1970, Iowa 110 was rerouted away from the downtown area to its current western end.[6]
