History

M-103 was first designated as a state trunkline in 1932. The first version ran from

US 112 and US  131 in White Pigeon. At the time, US 131 turned westerly along US 112 before turning south to connect with SR 15.[9][10] This first version of M-103 was completed paved by 1934.[11] The routings of US 131 and M-103 were swapped south of US 12 (successor to US 112) by 1960. Since that time, M-103 has been routed between US 12 and SR 15 in western Mottville Township and US 131 has run due south of White Pigeon to SR 13.[2][3]
