Butler County Veterans HighwayEdit
Butler County Veterans Highway is signed as SR 129 and is a limited access highway from Hamilton to its terminus at Interstate 75. The highway was conceived in the early 1970s as a link to I-75 from Hamilton. At the time, Hamilton was the second largest city in the U.S. without a direct connection to an Interstate.[2] The highway has had three names. The original name was the Butler County Regional Highway. Shortly after the highway was built, the highway was renamed the Michael A. Fox Highway in honor of an incumbent Butler County Commissioner and former state legislator. In 2004 the highway was renamed to the Butler County Veterans Highway.[3]
