The designation as OR 551 is a recent addition; for a long time this route did not have a signed route number. In 2002, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) began assigning route numbers to highways that did not previously have route numbers. As the internal ODOT number assigned this route was already used by OR 51, the number 5 was prefixed to form 551.
