History
This route was originally part of former State Route 30, a somewhat longer route which was designated as running from Fountain Green on former SR-11 (also known as U.S. Route 89A), south through Freedom and Wales, then east through Chester and Spring City, then northeast to former SR-32 (US-89) in Mount Pleasant.

In 1966, the counties in northern Utah requested that the State Road Commission designate a single route number to run east–west across that part of the state. Since Nevada's portion of the highway was numbered SR 30, Utah selected that number. As a result, in November 1966 the former State Route 30 was renumbered as State Route 117. Route 117 had been freed up four months prior in July when former SR-117 from Bicknell to Boulder was absorbed by former SR-54 (now part of SR-12).

In 1969, the legislature shortened the route by , moving the western terminus from Fountain Green to Wales. After this change, the route has remained the same through the present day.
