History
State Highway 97 was originally commissioned on February 3, 1952. At this time, the highway extended from Sapulpa (at its present-day southern terminus, where it intersected what was then US-66) to the southern SH-51 junction, which also carried US-64 (as the Keystone Expressway had not yet been built). The highway was extended north into Osage County on October 15, 1956. The only changes that have occurred since then are relatively minor changes in alignment through Sand Springs and Sapulpa.
