Creation: Appeared in 1938 running from TN 62 below Petros to US 25W Lake City (now Rocky Top).
Adjustments: In 1983, TN 116 was extended north with US 25W to I-75, then north along the frontage road (was US 25W until the mid 1960s) to current US 25W-TN 63 Caryville.
Posting: Posted as secondary routing everywhere.
The overlay with US 25W is posted on its southern split and at US 441; not posted well (if at all) at I-75
Secret US Route Overlay: None
Comment: Frozen Head State Park at one end and Cove Lake State Park at the other. Much of the route between Petros and Rocky Top is mountainous and twisty and unchanged since at least the 1930s.
