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:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“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)
