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.
