Ohio State Route 750 - History

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:

    They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
    Change horses, making history change its tune,
    Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
    Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
    Excepting the post-obits of theology.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
    Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)

    Tell me of the height of the mountains of the moon, or of the diameter of space, and I may believe you, but of the secret history of the Almighty, and I shall pronounce thee mad.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
