State Trunk Highway 165 (STH-165, commonly known as Highway 165 or WIS 65) is a highway in far southeastern Wisconsin connecting Pleasant Prairie, south of Kenosha, with
The first WIS 165 in Wisconsin was a short connector between US 41 and WIS 55 in the present-day village of Germantown in 1926. In 1953, the designation was removed from this stretch of highway when the US 41/ US 45 concurrency was routed to its present alignment.
Before it was numbered as a Wisconsin Highway, much of the current WIS 165 was designated as CTH-Q. A section near the Des Plaines River was constructed in 1988. The current WIS 165 was numbered in 1990, the same year nearby WIS 174 was decommissioned. In 2017, the section between Corporate Drive and Terwall Terrace was widened to four lanes, making all of the highway west of WIS 31 four lanes.
In 2006-2007, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) conducted a study to evaluate the impacts of improving WIS 165 between WIS 31 and WIS 32 to a four-lane road to improve traffic flow and safety. The study recommended the section be widened to four lanes and roundabouts be constructed at three intersections.
