History
OH 698 made its debut in 1937, running between US 30 (currently Old US 30) 4 miles west of Williamstown and US 25 (currently Hancock County Road 313) 5 miles southwest of Findlay.
No significant changes took place in the routing of OH 698 for a good 70 years. In 2007, however, in conjunction with the opening of the new four-lane expressway alignment of US 30 through Hancock and Wyandot Counties, the southern end of OH 698 was truncated to its intersection with OH 103 just south of Jenera.

“The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
