History[edit]
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.[3][4] In 1937, the highway was extended eastward to SR 9, then continuing east via Carroll County Road 71 (CR 71) to a new terminus at SR 39 just west of Mechanicstown.[5][6] 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.[7][8]
