Between 1923 and 1925, the route ran from Washington Court House to Covington, but was extended south in 1926 to a point near Cynthiana. In 1962, the entire route was renumbered as extensions of other routes due to the creation of I-70 through Ohio.

SR 71 was the route that is now the full length of SR 571 which runs from Union City to US 40 just north of Crystal Lakes. The route was created in 1923 running along numerous state highways created in the 1910s. The only deviation SR 71 made from the current SR 571 was near its eastern terminus prior to 1950; instead of turning sharply south east of New Carlisle, SR 71 continued east and ended at US 40 east of Donnelsville. The route's change in designation came about in 1962 due to the creation of I-71, the route was renumbered to SR 571.

Originally, the route ran from Cincinnati (near SR 32's current western terminus) to Wayne Township, Adams County at what was then SR 137 south of Seaman. Two years later, the route's eastern terminus was moved to just east of Peebles in Franklin Township. The route became SR 32 in 1962 upon the creation of I-74 west of Cincinnati. Most of what was SR 74 is no longer maintained as a state highway since SR 32 was largely moved onto newly constructed divided highways as a part of the construction of the Appalachian Highway.

SR 75 consisted of what is now SR 93 from Ironton to West Lafayette and the entirety of SR 751 from West Lafayette to Stone Creek. The route existed from 1923 through 1962. Except for different routings between Otsego and Isleta prior to 1930, the route largely remained unchanged throughout its history. The route became SR 93 and SR 751 in 1962 due to the creation of I-75 in the western part of the state.

The 75 number continues to exist on a historic tunnel north of Ironton. The tunnel built in 1866 was bypassed in 1960 and currently serves as a tourist attraction and a haunted house around Halloween.[3] [4] [5]

SR 76 was a state route that existed from 1923 until 1972 when it was renumbered to two different highways, SR 83 and SR 339, due to the renumbering of Interstate 80S to I-76. At the time of its creation in 1923, SR 76 only ran from New Concord to Wooster and followed a more westerly alignment between Coshocton and Millersburg. By 1927, the route was moved to the modern-day SR 83 alignment between Coshocton and Millersburg and extended south to Beverly. In 1932, the southern terminus was moved to Vincent and to just west of Belpre in 1935. By 1937, the route was extended north to the Lake Erie shoreline at Avon Lake; SR 76 would remain at this alignment for nearly 35 years. When the 76 route number was reused for the Interstate highway in 1972, the portion of the route north of SR 60 near Beverly became SR 83 while the part south of Beverly became an extended SR 339.

When the route was renumbered due to the addition of I-77 in the state, SR 77 south of SR 39 in Monroe Township, Holmes County became an extended SR 60 while the remaining 6.7miles became the new route SR 754.

SR 80 was a state route that existed from 1923 and 1962 and ran in eastern Ohio. At the time of its creation, the route ran from Minerva to Welshfield though by 1927, its southern terminus was moved to Sandyville and its northern terminus was moved to Burton in 1939. During this period, the alignment of SR 80 had changed many times between Alliance and Edinburg. In 1941, coinciding with the establishment of the Ravenna Arsenal, the segment of SR 80 between Charlestown and Freedom was deleted leaving two segments of the route. Within one year, the northern segment became SR 700 and the remaining section's northern terminus was truncated to Edinburg. SR 80 would remain on this alignment (except for a slight realignment near Limaville in 1948) until 1962 when the route was renumbered to SR 183 due to the addition of I-80 in the state.

SR 83 was a short state route in the northeastern corner of Ohio. The route always had its western terminus in or around Ashtabula but the route had three different alignments throughout its history. Its first alignment, created in 1923 over the former route of SR 476 started just south of Ashtabula, headed east through Sheffield and ended at the Pennsylvania state line in Monroe Township. This alignment would last until 1927. The next year, SR 83 began by traveling northeast from the southern section of Ashtabula to Kingsville then headed southeast to Monroe Center to end at SR 7. This routing would remain in place until 1938 when SR 83 swapped routes with SR 84. The final routing of SR 83 started in southern Ashtabula and traveled east (on an alignment different than the 1923 route) to Kelloggsville before jogging south to Monroe Center ending at SR 7. By 1958, SR 83 was removed from the state highway system and the roads on which it traveled were transferred to Ashtabula County.[6]

The route did not undergo any changes until it was renumbered in 1962 due to the addition of I-90 in the state. Most of the route became a northern extension of SR 170 that year with the small portion between Petersburg and Pennsylvania becoming an extension of SR 617.

In 1926, SR 102 was moved off of the route of the newly designated US 20 onto a route that followed the modern-day SR 51. This routing would last until 1939 when it was replaced by SR 120.

In the Ohio state highway maps of 1946 through 1949, SR 102 appears on the route of SR 120 west of Toledo to the Michigan state line. Maps prior and following these years show the route as SR 120.

SR 112 was a cancelled freeway named the Downtown Distributor that would have run from Interstate 75 north of the current Anthony Wayne Trail terminus through downtown, along the banks of the Maumee River. On a county map from 1973,[9] ramps off I-75 were to have begun a freeway marked as State Route 112. It was planned to run to the Maumee River, through the historic St. Patrick's Catholic Church. This is why neither ODOT nor the city has built it. It would have ended at the Summit Street interchange on Interstate 280, and would have had a spur providing a freeway connection to the Anthony Wayne Bridge.[10] [11] [12]
