History

SR 169 was created in 1923 as a northeast bypass of Niles, with SR 16 going through Niles. In 1927, SR 169 was moved to SR 16's routing through Niles, and the Niles bypass became part of the newly-designated US 422. Until August 2007, SR 169 ran west with US 422 in Warren to the SR 45 intersection.
