K-196 was first established as a state highway on March 29, 1937, by the State Highway Commission of Kansas, now known as Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT).[2] In an April 10, 1946 resolution, K-196 was slightly realigned in Butler County northwest of El Dorado.[3] Before mid 1953, K-196 followed the railroad through Oil Hill, then in a May 19, 1953 resolution, K-196 was moved slightly southwest to a new alignment.[4] By June 1957, Butler county had finished projects on the new K-254 and in a June 26, 1957 resolution, it was established as a state highway from the Sedgwick–Butler County line to K-196 west of El Dorado.[5] Then sometime between June 26, 1957 and 1968, K-254 was extended along K-196 through El Dorato to US-54 and US-77.[5][6] In an October 8, 1958 resolution, K-196 Alternate (K-196 Alt.) was created on the west end of El Dorado.[1] In a January 27, 1967 resolution it was approved to build I-35W from the Sedgewick–Harvey County line north to the Harvey–McPherson County line and then realign K-15 and US-81 onto I-35W.[7] Then by 1970, I-35W was built and K-196 was truncated .479 miles (0.771 km) to it current western terminus.[7][8] I-35W was remembered to I-135 on September 13, 1976.[9] Then sometime between 1975 and 1981, K-196 Alt. was decommissioned.[10][11] The overlap with K-254 was removed on May 6, 1994, and K-196 was truncated to end at K-254 west of El Dorado.[12]
