History
SR 111 was first signed and paved in 1923 from the Indiana state line west of Payne to Defiance. The route from Indiana to Payne is now SR 613 and SR 111 was concurrent with SR 108, now SR 49, north of Payne. In 1927 the route from Payne west became SR 113, leaving SR 111 only between SR 49 and Defiance. The highway was extended to Indiana state line heading due west from SR 49 towards Indiana in 1935. In 1983 the route was moved to its current route between Paulding and Defiance. No significant changes have taken place to this state route since 1983.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
