History
Prior to the start of construction of Interstate 670 in the Columbus vicinity, the current routing of State Route 761, along with the portion of State Route 313 from the State Route 761 junction to its eastern terminus at State Route 147 was designated as State Route 670. In 1974, because of construction on the future Interstate 670, and the rule that no state highway designation may duplicate a U.S. or Interstate highway designation within Ohio, the portion of State Route 670 between State Route 313 and State Route 265 became State Route 761, and the remainder became an extension of State Route 313.
