OR 194 was established in 2002 as part of Oregon's project to assign route numbers to highways that previously were not assigned, and, as of July 2018, remains unsigned. Oddly, the four ODOT bridge inventory signs along the highway list the route number as "US 51," suggesting it may eventually be signed instead as an extension of Oregon Route 51.
