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:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“History is the present. That’s why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
