History

The roadway that would eventually be designated as SR 331 was built in the mid-1950s as Thames Avenue, from SR 85 to the intersection with US 19 Bus./ US 41 Bus. (now US 19/US 41/SR 3), and Georgia Avenue from there to the central part of Forest Park. In the early 1960s, the segment of Thames Avenue between SR 85 and US 19/US 41 (now I-75) was designated as SR 331. In the middle of the decade, the SR 331 designation was extended eastward to US 19/US 41/SR 3, which were then following their current path. In 1971, SR 331 was extended eastward to SR 54, and the entire roadway was renamed as Forest Parkway.
