History
State Route 15 was certified in 1923, along the current U.S. Route 322, which replaced it in 1926.
In 1926 the designation was reapplied to a route from Carey to the Indiana state line. In 1929 it was rerouted to Bryan, replacing parts of State Route 9. It replaced the rest of State Route 9 in 1931, rerouted along its current route to the Michigan state line.
In 1966, State Route 15 was rerouted on a expressway from Interstate 75 in Findlay to U.S. Route 23 in Carey, its new southern (eastern) terminus. The highway runs a few miles south of its previous routing, which was recertified as State Route 568 the same year.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
