History
The SR 532 designation was established in 1937. Originally, the highway began at the intersection of Canton Road, at the time a segment of SR 8, and Tisen Road south of Mogadore. It followed Tisen Road east to where it turns north on the Summit–Portage county line and defaults into Portage Line Road, continuing north from that point up to US 224. SR 532 then utilized its entire present alignment, continuing northwest of where the I-76 interchange is located today along Southeast Avenue up to the downtown Tallmadge traffic circle. It continued from there northwest along Northwest Avenue and Tallmadge Road to the present SR 59 intersection, which at the time was a part of SR 5, in Cuyahoga Falls. SR 532 duplexed with SR 5 along Front Street northeast. Departing from SR 5, SR 532 traveled north out of Cuyahoga Falls by following Bailey Road to the northwest and the nnorth, then turning to the southwest on Graham Road and traveling along that road a short distance to Wyoga Lake Road. The route then went north along Wyoga Lake Road to where it meets Akron-Cleveland Road, which in 1937 was a part of SR 8. That intersection marked the endpoint of SR 532.
The shortening of SR 532 began in 1942, when the portions of the highway south of US 224 along Tisen Road and Portage Line Road were removed from the state highway system. Then, by 1981, with the impending completion of the SR 8 freeway in the vicinity of Cuyahoga Falls, all of SR 532 to the northwest of I-76 through Tallmadge and Cuyahoga Falls was eliminated. Consequently, at that point the state highway took on the status of short connector route between US 224 and I-76 that is has today.
