Highway History:
1953: OK 45 was less than half the distance that it is today. It began at the same place it does today in Waynoka, but the highway then went only as far east as OK 8 in Carmen. Current OK 45 between Helena and Carrier was then signed as OK 38, and the rest of today's OK 45 was not signed at that time.

1959: Same as 1953

Highway Review:
