History

edit

Most of SR 800 was first designated in 1923 as SR 48 south of Dennison and SR 8 north of Dennison.[3][4] By 1927, the road from Fly to Dennison became a southern extension of SR 8.[5][6] Except for a realignment onto the US 250 expressway between Dennison and New Philadelphia in the 1960s, no major changes to the routing of SR 8 occurred between 1927 and 1969.[7][8]

In May 1968, the Ohio Department of Highways (predecessor to Ohio Department of Transportation) proposed the renumbering of SR 8 to SR 800.[9] The renumbering took place to avoid long conflicts with the newly constructed Interstate Highway System in Ohio.[10] SR 800 signs began appearing along the road in February 1969 with a six-month transition allowing for the removal of old SR 8 signs. The renumbering coincided with the renumbering of a section of SR 16 in the New Philadelphia area (it became SR 416).[10] Except for a realignment of the route around the north side of Dennison by 1979, no other changes have occurred to SR 800's routing.[11][12]
