Minnesota State Highway 171 (MN 171) is a short highway in the northwest corner of Minnesota, which runs from North Dakota Highway 59 at the North Dakota state line and continues east to its eastern terminus at its intersection with U.S. Highway 75 near St. Vincent.
The route is 2 miles (3.2 km) in length and passes through St. Vincent.
State Highway 171 serves as a short east–west route between U.S. 75, St. Vincent, the Red River, and Pembina, ND.
The route is located in the Red River Valley region.
The route is legally defined as Route 171 in the Minnesota Statutes.
Highway 171 was authorized on April 22, 1933 and was originally part of State Highway 73.
By 1935, this route was renumbered as part of U.S. Highway 59. Adjoining North Dakota Highway 59 in Pembina was numbered to match then-Highway 59 in Minnesota.
In the 1950s, this route was renumbered 171 when a realigned U.S. 59 was constructed from Lancaster north to Canada.
This route was paved (as U.S. 59) by 1940.
