==History==
PA 14 was formed in 1927, stretching from the [[Maryland]] state line to the [[New York (state)|New York]] state line. When formed, it was [[concurrency (road)|concurrent]] with several [[U.S. Highways]] in the [[Williamsport, Pennsylvania|Williamsport]] area, including [[U.S. Route 111|U.S. Routes 111]], [[U.S. Route 120|120]], and [[U.S. Route 220|220]]. From [[Harrisburg (PA)|Harrisburg]] to [[York, PA|York]], it followed [[U.S. Route 15]] and what is today [[Pennsylvania Route 94]] via the [[Susquehanna Trail]].<ref name="1926 map"/><ref name="1927 map"/> In 1930, the route was realigned onto what is now [[Pennsylvania Route 405]] from [[Lewisburg, Pennsylvania|Lewisburg]] to [[Muncy, Pennsylvania|Muncy]].<ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1930fr.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map|year=1930|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=2007-09-06|format=PDF}}</ref><ref>{{cite map|url=http://www.mapsofpa.com/roadcart/1931parcom.jpg|title=Pennsylvania Motor Trails Map (eastern half)|year=1931|publisher=Langwith|accessdate=2007-09-06}}</ref>
By 1940, US 111 was redesignated as [[U.S. Route 15]]. As in previous years, PA 14 remained concurrent with the roadway now carrying US 15 to [[Northumberland, Pennsylvania|Northumberland]]. From Northumberland south to [[Duncannon, Pennsylvania|Duncannon]], PA 14 was realigned onto the western bank of the [[Susquehanna River]], creating an overlap with [[U.S. Route 11 in Pennsylvania|U.S. Route 11]]. At Duncannon, US 11 split from PA 14 and crossed the Susquehanna while PA 14 continued south along the riverbank to [[Lemoyne, Pennsylvania|Lemoyne]], a suburb of [[Harrisburg (PA)|Harrisburg]]. Here, PA 14 joined US 11 on a brief overlap east across the Susquehanna into Harrisburg. At Front Street, US 11 turned north while PA 14 continued east on Market Street. PA 14 then turned right onto 4th Street, following the road out of Harrisburg to [[Paxtang, Pennsylvania|Paxtang]], where PA 14 terminated at [[U.S. Route 322 (Pennsylvania)|U.S. Route 322]] and [[U.S. Route 422 (Pennsylvania)|U.S. Route 422]].<ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1940fr.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map (front side)|year=1940|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=2007-09-06|format=PDF}}</ref><ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1940bk.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map (back side)|year=1940|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=2007-09-06|format=PDF}}</ref> In 1941, PA 14 was rerouted to the east side of the Susquehanna River from Muncy to [[Clarks Ferry, Pennsylvania|Clarks Ferry]] on what is now [[Interstate 180 (Pennsylvania)|Interstate 180]] and [[Pennsylvania Route 147]]; the US 15 designation was moved west to run concurrent with US 11. From Clarks Ferry to Harrisburg, PA 14 was concurrent with [[U.S. Route 22 (Pennsylvania)|U.S. Routes 22]], and [[U.S. Route 322|322]].<ref name=1941news>{{cite news|title=Local Road Route Changes Affect Harrisburg Drivers|url=http://www.newspapers.com/clip/2962044/pa_404_eliminated_6201941/|accessdate=August 14, 2015|work=The Evening News|date=June 20, 1941|location=[[Harrisburg, Pennsylvania|Harrisburg, PA]]|page=18|via=[[Newspapers.com]]}} {{open access}}</ref><ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1950fr.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map (front side)|year=1950|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=2007-09-07|format=PDF}}</ref><ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1950bk.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map (back side)|year=1950|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=2007-09-07|format=PDF}}</ref> By 1960, PA 14 was truncated to end at US 22 and US 322 in Clarks Ferry.<ref>{{cite map|url=ftp://ftp.dot.state.pa.us/public/pdf/BPR_pdf_files/Maps/Statewide/Historic_OTMs/1960fr.pdf|title=Pennsylvania state map (front side)|year=1960|publisher=Pennsylvania Department of Highways|accessdate=2007-09-07|format=PDF}}</ref>
