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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“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.)
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
