Route description
![](../I/m/IA_202_in_Moulton.jpg)
Iowa Highway 202 begins in Fabius Township, in Davis County, at the Missouri state line just north of Coatsville, Missouri. It continues in Missouri as Route 202. For its first 8 miles (13 km), it runs parallel to a former line of the Norfolk & Western railroad.[4] Because of its proximity to the abandoned rail line, Iowa 202 follows an unusual path; heading northeast, turning north, and then turning northwest into Appanoose County. It continues to the northwest for 5 miles (8.0 km) before going through an ess curve which points Iowa 202 to the north towards Moulton. North of Moulton, Iowa 202 continues due north for 3 miles (4.8 km), ending at Iowa Highway 2 in Washington Township.[1]
History
Iowa Highway 202 was designated in the 1969 Iowa highway renumbering, having previously been designated Iowa Highway 142.[2][3] No changes to the route have occurred since its designation.
