Route description edit
The state route begins at an intersection with SR 232 within a valley formed by the Big Indian Creek. First heading southeast, it crosses over the aforementioned creek and climbs a hill. At the top, the terrain flattens out and SR 756 continues heading southeast towards Felicity. After intersecting SR 743 in Washington Township and crossing into Franklin Township, the route enters the village limits of Felicity on West Light Street. At the intersection with Mulberry Street, SR 222 joins SR 756 through the center of Felicity. The two routes run together until they reach North Market Street, which carries SR 133. SR 222 heads south with SR 133 but SR 756 turns north onto Market Street for one block. After its short concurrency with SR 133, SR 756 heads in a northeast direction towards Feesburg. After entering Lewis Township, Brown County, the route makes an S-curve towards the southeast but quickly returns to a northeastern bearing. The route ends at an intersection with SR 505.[2]
History edit
The first part of SR 756 brought into the state highway system was the current route from SR 232 to Felicity in 1937.[3][4] By 1940, it was extended to SR 505, but was also routed north on SR 505 past Feesburg to SR 125.[5] This long concurrency would remain in place until approximately 1995.[6][7]
