K-254 was first authorized to become a state highway in a May 9, 1956 resolution once Butler and Sedgwick counties had brought the route up to state highway standards.[1] Then by June 1957, Butler county had finished projects and in a June 26, 1957 resolution it was established as a state highway from the Sedgwick–Butler County line to K-196.[1] Then sometime between June 26, 1957 and 1964 it was extended along K-196 through El Dorado to its current eastern terminus.[1][2] In an August 12, 1959 resolution the section in Sedgwick County was established as a state highway because Sedgwick County had finished bringing it up to state highway standards.[3] By April 1963, K-254 had become part of the federal aid primary system and due to this a section between Rechi and Wichita was realigned and made a four-lane highway.[4] Then in an August 26, 1970 resolution, K-96 was rerouted along the first 1.183 miles (1.904 km) from the western terminus.[5] This overlap lasted roughly 18 years, then in a June 14, 1988 resolution K-96 was rerouted along I-135 and the overlap was removed.[6] The overlap with K-196 was removed on May 6, 1994 and K-196 was truncated to end at K-254 west of El Dorado.[7] In a February 8, 1996 resolution it was approved to realign the highway to the north of Towanda and to realign the highway slightly north near Benton.[8]
