Route 167, like many New Jersey state highways, was created when a U.S. highway was realigned to bypass its original alignment. In this case, U.S. Route 9 was rerouted around Mullica River in 1954. The southern piece is in Port Republic and the northern portion is in Bass River Township.
Today, Route 167 is unsigned. Several bridges are down and there are abandoned sections in the middle; a section in Port Republic has been closed since 1987 and decommissioned, so there is one large gap where previously there had been several smaller ones. The only indication that Route 167 is a state highway is the still-existing zero mile marker.
