History
Iowa Highway 191 has lengthened and shortened a few times in its history. Upon its designation in the 1930s, Primary Road No. 191 ran from Primary Road No. 64 in Neola to its current northern end in Earling. When Iowa 64 was truncated to its route in eastern Iowa, Iowa 191 took over the route from Neola to Council Bluffs. In 1981, Iowa 191 was pushed back to the city limits of Council Bluffs. In 2002, the portion south of Interstate 680 was identified as a local service highway and was turned over to Pottawattamie County on July 1, 2003.
