History
At its inception in 1924, State Route 191 consisted of the following route: Defiance County Road 1 from the point where State Route 66 crosses the boundary between Defiance and Williams Counties west to Evansport; Williams County Road 22-A from Evansport northwest to the current routing of U.S. Route 6 at the current southern terminus of State Route 191; and the current portion of State Route 191 from there to State Route 2 in Stryker. In 1937, the highway was extended north from Stryker to its current northern terminus at the duplex of U.S. Route 20A and U.S. Route 127 in West Unity. Then, in 1962, the highway took on its present form when the portion of State Route 191 south and east of the existing U.S. Route 6 was removed from the state highway system, with the segment from the current southern terminus to Evansport renamed as Williams County Road 22-A, and the part from Evansport east that, for the most part, straddles the Defiance-Williams County Line given the name of Defiance County Road 1.
