History

NM 171 was part of the original routing of NM 52 east of Interstate [25 in New Mexico|Interstate 25]. By the 1950s, this road had been bypassed by a new alignment of NM 52 further to the north, and was removed from the state highway system. In the 1988 renumbering, it was reestablished as NM 171. On October 16, 2014, NM 171 was given to the city of Elephant Butte, along with the portion of NM 195 in the city.
