History

Route 514 was first designated as a state highway in the mass numbering of state highways around Pennsylvania during 1928 from Route 14, its parent, in Troy to Granville Center. That portion of Route 514 was unpaved for two years until the Pennsylvania Department of Highways upgraded it in 1930. The rest of the alignment, from Granville Center to Route 414 in West Franklin, was still under construction until 1934, when the route was opened to traffic. The route has remained on its current alignment since 1934.
