History

In 1932, Route M was designated to a gravel road that started from the state line to Route 80, passing through Bakersfield.^[2][3] It was renumbered to Route 101 in 1941, part of many changes made by the Missouri State Highway Commission.^[4] All of the route was paved by 1953.^[5][6] Around 1954, Route 101 was realigned west of Bakersfield, shifting the southern terminus to the west. US 160 replaced Route 80 in the same year.^[6][7]
