History
SBI Route 111 originally ran from Waverly to Alton on modern-day Illinois 111. In 1942, it was extended south to Fairmont City. In 1953, it was extended further south to near East Saint Louis, which became Centreville. In 2001, when U.S. Route 67 was moved west through Jerseyville, Illinois Route 267 took its place north of Medora. Some time after, Illinois 267 was applied south along with Illinois 111 on a concurrency.
