History

When Pennsylvania legislated routes in 1911, what is now PA 914 was not given a number. At this time, the road between Marion and the border of Guilford and Antrim townships was paved.[3] Swamp Fox Road between the township line and PA 316 was originally an unpaved road.[4] In the 1930s, all of Swamp Fox Road was paved except for the portion near Marion Road, which was an improved road.[5] The improved section of the road was paved in the 1940s.[6] PA 914 was designated in the 1960s to run on its current alignment from US 11 in Marion east to PA 316 south of New Franklin, with an interchange at I-81 east of Marion.[7]
