History

The highway began as a part of Highway 72 in 1934. In 1954, the road was renumbered as Highway 116, but may have been briefly designated as "Highway 72A" before that. By 1975, theMinistry of Transportation of Ontariohad decided to demote three very lightly travelled Kings Highways inNorthwestern Ontarioto secondary highway status. Those roadways were Highway 116 (which became Highway 664), Highway 119 (which becameHighway 665), and Highway 128 (which became the infamous Highway 666, and was consequently renumbered asHighway 658in 1985.)

The road today is a typical secondary highway: lightly travelled, connecting a town to a main Kings Highway (Highway 72), and has slightly narrower and coarser pavement than Kings Highways.
