Prior to 1998, Highway 118's western terminus was Highway 169 in Glen Orchard, making the total road length 116.1 kilometres (72.1 mi) from that point to Haliburton. On January 1, 1998, 26.6 kilometres (16.5 mi) of Highway 118, between Highway 169 and Highway 11 was redesignated as Muskoka Regional Road 118 West. A majority of that route is also cosigned as the Frank Miller Memorial Route.
Before 2003, Highway 118's eastern terminus was in Haliburton, at a junction with Highway 121. During the spring of 2003, Highway 121 was renumbered east of Haliburton as Highway 118.[3]
