History
Route 997 was signed in 1928 from Waynesboro to US 30 in Fayetteville. The southern terminus was changed to the state line in 1936 and the northern terminus was changed from Fayetteville to Greenvillage. In 1941, Route 997 was shifted off the present PA 316 alignment to its current alignment. Twenty-three years later, the northern terminus was shifted northward from Greenvillage to its current end in McCrea. In 1977, Route 997 was swapped off its alignment on Mont Alto Road, Main Street and Mount Pleasant Road onto its current route.

That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
