Route description

The path of SR 376 takes it through parts of the counties of Morgan and Muskingum. This route is not included as a part of the National Highway System.[2]

History

SR 376 was designated in 1934. Originally, the highway ran from its current southern terminus at SR 266 near Stockport to the former SR 77 (now SR 60) in McConnelsville.[3] [4] In 1937, SR 376 was extended north of McConnelsville along a previously un-numbered roadway up to a new northern terminus at SR 340 in the hamlet of Ruraldale.[5] [6] By 1964, SR 340 was truncated to its current western terminus at SR 284. The portion east of SR 376 would become known as county-maintained Ruraldale Road, while the portion to the west would become an extension of SR 376 that would take it to its current northern terminus at SR 60 in Blue Rock.[7] [8]
