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:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
