History
Highway 107 was authorized in 1933 between Grasston and Brook Park.[1]
Present day Highway 107 was originally numbered Highway 65 between Braham and Grasston from 1934 to 1942. Nearby Highway 65 was built on a new alignment c. 1942 and this old section of 65 between Braham and Grasston was renumbered 107 as a southerly extension of the existing Highway 107.[4]
All of Highway 107 was paved by 1960.[4]
