Ohio State Route 716
State Route 716 (SR 716, OH 716) is a state highway in the western part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at State Route 705 in the village of Osgood in northeastern Darke County. The northern terminus of State Route 716 is at State Route 274 in the village of Chickasaw in southeastern Mercer County. For its entire length, State Route 716 runs parallel to, and approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) to the east of, U.S. Route 127.
The highway was assigned in 1937 on a routing from State Route 705 in Osgood to an unnumbered highway in Franklin Township. The route was truncated to its current northern terminus in 1973. State Route 716 has remained intact ever since.

“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The fantastical idea of virtue and the public good being a sufficient security to the state against the commission of crimes, which you say you have heard insisted on by some, I assure you was never mine.”
