History
State Route 85 made its debut in 1924, consisting of what is now the stretch of U.S. Route 6 between Euclid and Andover, as well as the entirety of the current State Route 85 from Andover to the Pennsylvania State Line. When U.S. Route 6 made its debut in Ohio in 1932, it was routed via the stretch of State Route 85 between Euclid and Andover. For the six years following, U.S. Route 6 and State Route 85 were run concurrently along that stretch of roadway. In 1938, State Route 85 was truncated to its current routing between Andover and the connection to Pennsylvania Route 285 on the Pymatuning Causeway, leaving U.S. Route 6 to be the lone route running between Euclid and Andover.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
