History

When it was originally designated in 1924, SR 171 ran from its current western terminus in Waynesburg through New Harrisburg to its junction with SR 43 northwest of Carrollton.
In 1937, the highway was extended eastward to SR 9, then continuing east via Carroll County Road 71 to a new terminus at SR 39 just west of Mechanicstown. By 1967, SR 171 was truncated to its current eastern terminus at SR 9, with jurisdiction of the portion between SR 9 and SR 39 being transferred to Carroll County. This stretch of roadway was renamed CR 71.
