History
It was part of the Pikes Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway which was completed in 1927. Before 1932 the portion of the route from Greenville to the Indiana state line was denominated route 29.
From 1932 to 1962, what is now State Route 571 was denominated State Route 71. The 71 number had to be retired following the opening of Interstate 71 through Ohio. State Route 571 was certified with its current (2007) route in 1962.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
—William James (1842–1910)
