History U.S. 151 was one of the original highways from 1926. At the time, it only ran from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin to Madison, Wisconsin. Originally, the highway ended at Western Avenue and Main Street in Madison. In 1934, the highway was extended to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The highway was comprised mainly of what had been U.S. 161, which was a decommisioned route. At the time, the southern end of the route was at Williams Blvd SW and 16th Ave SW, what was then U.S. Highways 30 and 218. In the 1940's, the highway was extended north to Manitowoc. 1926 was a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar). ...

In 1981, the southern terminus of the highway was extended once again when the U.S. 30 bypass was built. The southern terminus was at the US 151 and 30 interchange. By 1986, the main U.S. 151 was rerouted on to state highway 13 and U.S. highway 30 to bypass Cedar Rapids. The previous route through Cedar Rapids was renamed as Business U.S. 151. Finally in 1989, U.S. 151 was extended to its current southern terminus at Interstate 80, exit 225. This extension followed the route of the former state highway 149. As a result, U.S. 151 became the main route through the Amana Colonies. Amana is a location in Iowa County, Iowa. ...
