History

County Route 17 was created in 1937 by the renumbering of several older county highways. Then, as now, it was a complex of roads, as opposed to a single linear route. At various times, some of these segments were suffixed, renumbered or decommissioned altogether. No suffixed auxiliary routes to CR 17 remain.
