History
OH 625 came into being in 1937 along the routing between US 224 and US 62 routing that it currently occupies. In 1960, OH 625 was extended along US 62, Glenwood Avenue and Midlothian Boulevard to a new eastern terminus at the point where today, OH 170 turns from Midlothian Boulevard onto Youngstown-Poland Road. By 2008, OH 625 was truncated back to its original alignment, and the former stretch of OH 625 along Glenwood Avenue and Midlothian Boulevard became an extension of OH 170. Signs were changed July 16 and 17, 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
