State Trunk Highway 103 (often called Highway 103, STH 103 or WIS 103) was a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The highway ran through Fond du Lac and Green Lake counties.

History

Eastern terminus

The highway number was already designated in 1922.[1] In 1922, the highway's eastern terminus was listed at Wisconsin Highway 31 near Lamartine, Wisconsin.[1] It ran east-west and had a major intersection with WIS26 in Ladoga.[1] It joined with WIS49 near Brandon and continued west passing through Fairwater.[1] Its western terminus was located at Wisconsin Highway 44 west of Markesan.[1] The highway ran for 27.1 miles (43.6 km) at that time.[1]

By 1973, the highway had been shorted to 10.7 miles. The highway's eastern terminus was located at the same place at what was then numbered U.S. Route 151.[2] The highway's western terminus had been changed to Wisconsin Highway 49 just south of Brandon.[2]

The highway had been decommissioned by the late 1990s and Fond du Lac county took over control signing the remainder as County TC.[3]
