East of US 69, Iowa 210 serves as a collector route to Interstate 35, serving, on average, over 4500 vehicles per day.[3] East of Interstate 35, Iowa Highway 210 primarily serves local traffic.[3] Iowa 210 serves Cambridge via county highways and Maxwell directly.

History
Iowa Highway 210 was designated on January 8, 1938, as a double-spur route between Slater and Maxwell.[4] It was extended eastward to US 65 and westward to Iowa 141, absorbing Iowa 89,[2] in November 1980.[4] In 1997, when Iowa 141 was upgraded to an expressway, the southern end of Iowa 210 was extended approximately 500 feet (150 m). A mile marker 1A exists near mile marker 1 to account for the addition.[5]
