History

Initially, in 1923, WIS 163 was formed to travel from WIS 17 in Two Rivers to WIS 54 in Luxembourg. In 1935, WIS 147 extended southeast from Mishicot to Two Rivers, causing WIS 163 to be removed southeast of Mishicot. In 1970, WIS 163 was straightened west of Tisch Mills. In 1999, WIS 163 was decommissioned in favor of transferring this route to local control. The route number has not been used ever since.
