Most of Highway 40 was authorized in 1933.
The section of the route between U.S. Highway 75 at Madison and the South Dakota state line was authorized circa 1950.[1]
Highway 40 was still gravel in 1940. The route was mostly paved by 1953, except for just west of Willmar. Highway 40 was completely paved by 1958.[1]
In 2009, its eastern terminus was moved from U.S. 12 in Willmar to County Road 5 (30th Street SW).[1]
