History
State Route 750 was established in 1937. Originally, the highway ran from State Route 257 to its junction with State Route 315. In 1997, State Route 750 was extended eastward from State Route 315, crossing the Olentangy River and U.S. Route 23 via Powell Road, then following Polaris Parkway around to a new eastern terminus at Exit 121 off of Interstate 71 in the far northern end of Columbus.
With a planned expansion of the Columbus Zoo in the works, State Route 750's westernmost portion was re-routed to the south in 2007 onto an all new alignment that brought its western terminus in line with the intersection of State Route 257 and County Road 126.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
