History

When it was originally designated in 1924, State Route 171 ran from its current western terminus in Waynesburg to its junction with State Route 43 northwest of Carrollton.^[3][4] In 1937, the highway was extended eastward to State Route 9, then continuing east via Carroll County Road 71 to a new terminus at State Route 39 just west of Mechanicstown.^[5][6] By 1967, State Route 171 was truncated to its current eastern terminus at State Route 9, with jurisdiction of the portion between State Route 9 and State Route 39 being transferred to Carroll County. This stretch of roadway was renamed County Road 71.^[7][8]
