Highway 77 was a short former King's Highway in the 1930s and 1940s. The road travelled from Highway 2 in Wardsville, southwards towards Highway 3 in New Glasgow. The road was turned back in 1957, and is now known as Elgin County Road 103, Furnival Road. Before portions of Highways 3 and 4 were downloaded in 1998, it was known as County Road 4. The road was numbered sequentially, as part of a "cluster" of 70s routes in Southwestern Ontario, with other nearby routes having designations in the 70s, such as Highway 75, Highway 76, and Highway 78.
The road's designation would later be "recycled", used on Highway 77, a road in Essex County, Ontario.
