History
State Route 716 was established in 1937. Its original path consisted of its entire current routing, State Route 274 between Chickasaw and 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Chickasaw in Marion Township, and a currently unnumbered road from Marion Township to 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Montezuma in Franklin Township.
In 1973, State Route 716 was scaled back on the north end to its current northern terminus at State Route 274 in Chickasaw. The road went westward at the intersection with State Route 274, and went on a short concurrency before turning off for the north. It continued to its then northern terminus. The former stretch of State Route 716 from Chickasaw to Marion Township was re-numbered as State Route 274, and the stretch from Marion Township to Franklin Township was decommissioned.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
—Henry Ford (1863–1947)
