Ohio State Route 15 - History

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:

    This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.
    Titus Livius (Livy)

    I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.
    Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
