Ohio State Route 716 - History

History

State Route 716 was established in 1937. Its original path consisted of its entire current routing, State Route 274 between Chickasaw and 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Chickasaw in Marion Township, and a currently unnumbered road from Marion Township to 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Montezuma in Franklin Township.

In 1973, State Route 716 was scaled back on the north end to its current northern terminus at State Route 274 in Chickasaw. The road went westward at the intersection with State Route 274, and went on a short concurrency before turning off for the north. It continued to its then northern terminus. The former stretch of State Route 716 from Chickasaw to Marion Township was re-numbered as State Route 274, and the stretch from Marion Township to Franklin Township was decommissioned.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.
    Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)

    No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.
    Frances Burney (1752–1840)
