History
The current alignment of M-331 was part of the long-time alignment of US 131 before that highway was relocated onto a freeway west of Kalamazoo in the 1960s. The trunkline was designated on October 1, 1998 as part of a rationalization process started by Governor John Engler designed to transfer control of roads and streets in Michigan of economic importance to the state. The highway is not shown on the official state map published by the Michigan Department of Transportation, but it is labeled on the truck operator's map as an "unsigned state highway".
